MOMs of Manchester in Foxboro, MA has an 08 Thrux for sale. Low miles. I've seen the bike, they've dropped the price cuz it's not moving.

Yeah, $7000 is a high price for a used Thruxton; $6000 would be more like it.

Just keep an eye on Craigslist. I've seen Thruxtons turn up there occasionally. Also check the classifieds on triumphrat.net.

I've tried and tried to log on to the triumph Rat with no luck, keeps on telling me I'm answering the spam wrong.
There's a Bonneville in Albany NY for sale in the classified and his screen name is Tesla007 but he didn't leave a phone number it's only a short drive for me.

I am sure, ttyellow, that if you asked someone here who is also there [TRN] to forward your phone number, you could buy the motorcycle. I would but am no longer a member of TRN.
By the way, that machine looks like a real good deal!

Got it

Went over to Albany and bought the 05 Bonnie mint condition, just needs new tires. Can anyone suggest a good set of tires, I have Michelin on my TT and love them but the Bonnie is a different style bike

Looking to sell my cafed out Bonne. It is a 2006 with 5k miles. It has Norman Hyde M-Bars with white grips. Thruxton rear-sets, and Thruxton headers. Uni performance filter. Mini Tach. Gel cafe seat from Triumph. KYB res 3-way adjustable shocks. And customs signal and brake lights. Exhaust are cheapy EMGOs which have rust on them, but they were 90 bucks brand new so wasnt surprised that they started to rust after a couple months. Some rust on a couple of bolts that I replaced when I rejetted the carbs for exhaust/air upgrades. Chain stock, but has some rust, but oiled and running fine. Should just need a good cleaning. Bike is running great, just replaced battery and no issues at all. Moving to city for college... no where to keep it for now. Serious people only. Not looking for people who think it will be talked down because of a couple rusted bolts and a dirty chain. Blue Book is 4700 and thats not with all the extras.

Thanks Mark ...I found a cherry 05 Bonnie in Albany NY with 2800 miles so I picked it up. it's not a Thruxton but it will do for now. I'm going to keep my TT600 and sit on it but I will get a Thruxton at some point
Thanks Again
