Triumph Bonneville description

This is a very nice 2010 Triumph Thruxton Special Edition.  

**NO RESERVE**:  I feel the starting bid price is more than fair.

COPYRIGHT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:  One of the photos is a stock Triumph photo. Since it was published as part of their public marketing campaign back in 2009, I will assume it is, at this point, public domain and it is published only to direct the buyer to Triumph's factory photos.

I am the original owner and I've decided that I just don't ride enough to justify withholding it from the younger folks out there who will put it to good use.  As I recall, I had to "preorder" this bike, and place 50% down in December of 2009 and it wasn't delivered until July of 2010.  From what I was told, each Triumph dealer received one, and only one, Thruxton Special Edition.

This is a real head turner:  Powercoated red frame, sparkly white factory paint, and a red racing stripe.    I am extremely OCD when it comes to maintenance of my machines and the bike has spent its entire life covered and garaged.  Mechanically, this bike is basically brand new, with the following accessories and exceptions:

1.  Centerstand
2.  Removed Air Injection and wired in a resistor to "fool" the Fuel Injection ECU.  Standard AI removal kit from British Customs with a custom resistor (you had to make your own back in '10).
3.  I also purchased a set of slip-on D&D exhausts, but the centerstand can't be used when they are mounted.  Since I religiously oil and clean the chain, and I'm getting old and see no need to be loud, I opted to shelve the D&Ds and keep the centerstand.  The D&D slip-ons are included in the deal (as well as the box-o-stuff I removed from the bike).  I figure a kid might want something like them on the bike.
4.  Removed all the cheeseball reflector stickers (also in the box-o-stuff)

This motorcycle is VERY RARE.  Now I'm not going to BS you and tell you it has any performance above and beyond that of a standard Thruxton, but what I will tell you is that to create a paint scheme like this one has would cost thousands (powdercoated red frame) and it wouldn't be factory.

Title is free and clear, this bike has never been damaged, dropped, or ridden hard.  I recognize the motorcycle's rarity and have treated it appropriately.  It even has the original tires.  Helps that its not my only ride.

I am not including the cover, I intend on using it for my other motorcycle.  

WHY I AM SELLING:  I'm getting older and I just don't ride as much as I used to.  This is a beautiful machine that needs to be owned by someone who will appreciate and ride it, not by some old guy who watches it sit under a cover all day.  I refuse to be that "old guy" who hoards things that are meant to be used by young people.  This is the second to last motorcycle left from my collection and was one of my most prized motorcycles.

Note:  The ONLY issue with this motorcycle is that it is dusty.  Nothing a six-pack of beer, some terry cloth, and soap and water wouldn't take care of.  Even though I don't ride it regularly, I religiously change the oil every 12 months and wax the chain every 12 months.  It is spun up and ridden around my local airfield at least every 3 months.  Replaced the battery recently.

Also, the check engine light is on in the ODO photo because I only turned the key to the "on" position to get the reading.  No lights or warnings when the bike is running.

It has literally EVERY scrap of paper, spare keys, and all other accessories associated with the purchase, ownership, registration, etc. of the motorcycle.  You would literally be handed exactly what I was given when I bought it new off the line.

FINALLY:  Ebay is notorious for foreign bidders and scammers.  Thus, NO NON-US BIDS WILL BE CONSIDERED.  Also, I am listing this motorcycle in other places, so, if you message me, I'll be happy to provide you a buy-it-now price and keep in mind that it might get sold from somewhere else besides ebay.

Triumph Tiger Explorer and Trophy SE Recalled for Throttle Position Sensor Error

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Triumph is recalling a combined total of 2,800 units of the Tiger Explorer and Trophy SE due to a problem with the electronic control unit detecting the throttle position. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the ECU’s detection threshold is set too tightly and it lacked proper signal filtering, causing it to prematurely detecting a deviation in the throttle butterfly position. The ECU would then activate the ride-by-wire system’s safety shutdown, closing the throttle butterly valve and cutting the fuel and ignition.
