The Triumph Thruxton 900
was named after the famous race
course in England, the Bonneville Thruxton is reminiscent of the bikes
of the 1960's that ran in the 500 mile Thruxton race circuit endurance
race.
Triumph won first, second and third in 1969, and the bikes
of that era helped to create the "cafe racer" craze.
The new Triumph Bonneville Thruxton 900
has a revised engine of 865cc with new cams, carburetors and
great-looking megaphone exhausts. Power is now rated at 69 hp and
45 ft. lbs. of torque.
