Origin of the Thruxton 900cc

A few years ago, Triumph launched its interpretation of the bikes that followed the most classic Cafe Racer lines. The recipe was simple, it was based on the bestseller, the Bonneville, and was given a more racing look, without a doubt, in the style of the 60's: with semi handlebars, rounded cowl, higher exhausts and a more set back footrest. An extension of the neoclassic's performance was one of several offerings of this successful model that was on the market for 15 years and is one of the big reasons for Triumph's line of air-cooled neoclassic bikes leaving its mark on an entire generation. The Thruxton 900 quickly achieved its place in the market and that prompted the English brand to make some improvements, seeking above all to improve comfort. Together with the Triumph Bonneville T100, these two models formed the backbone of the whole neoclassic range of bikes that dominated the classic motorcycle market at the beginning of the 21st century.
