Read complaints for TRIUMPH THRUXTON 1200R (2016)
Within the first week of purchasing this motorcycle new from a dealership, vehicle has begun stalling. The issue occurs mainly when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd and blipping the throttle to match revs. There is a loud metallic ping that can be felt through the handlebars, followed by a total stall of the engine. Happens when engine is fully warmed up, but has happened cold. Quick application of throttle from idle sometimes results in a ping, but not a stall. A stall has occurred 6 times for me within 500 miles, several time while in heavy traffic and once in a blind curve, nearly causing a crash. My bike has now been in the shop for nearly 4 weeks while a repair is attempted. This is a well-documented issue within the triumph enthusiast community, but nothing has been officially addressed by the manufacturer. This is a safety issue that could cause death or injury.
Bike shuts down while on the move thus severely compromising the rider's safety.

Speedometer and tachometer backlighting makes it extremely difficult to see at night especially in contrast to the bright center display.on dark or dimly lit roads the speedometer and tachometer are useless.
