Back then, british twins, usually bonneville engines, were used to form the basis of home built bikes. Used to race from one caf to another, they featured extensive modifications such as dropped bars, single seats and upswept exhausts. To this day, weve kept many of these styling cues for the modern thruxton. Named after the high speed british circuit where triumph enjoyed great success in production racing, it follows in the tyre tracks of the legendary 1960s thruxton t120r. So its dependable enough for everyday use, easy and fun to ride yet still evokes the classic caf racer look. Features may include:bodyworkwe created a style for the thruxton that echoes the 1960s caf racers. Back then, machines were modified by their owners for higher speeds and sharper handling. We used classic 1960s paint schemes with period sports stripes and fitted a typical single-seat, or so it looks thanks to the rear cover. In actual fact a passenger can enjoy the ride on a thruxton too. Instrumentstwin instrument pods sitting high on their top yoke mounting position. Setting the 60s style for the entire bike. The engine and transmission has been engineered with the look of the classic triumph twins in mind. And there are double overhead camshafts despite what looks like a pushrod tube at the front of the engine, just like the caf racers of the 60s used to have.

Soundit's the sound and feel of the engine that matters, from the thumping thrust of the generous low rev torque to the eager high revs and the purring, even exhaust note. So distinctive to the parallel twin. Providing easy, neutral steering and exceptional balance even at low speeds. Suspensionwe fitted 41mm forks and chromed rear shocks and retuned them for a firmer ride and tighter control in high speed corners. Yet we've made it as unobtrusive as possible within the 1960s styling. Wheels and tyresthe wheels are wire-s.
