2009 Triumph THRUXTON 900Edit
The Thruxton’s engine, an air-cooled, DOHC, 865 cc parallel twin, remains relatively untouched over its 11-year run. Putting out 69 horsepower at 7,400 rpm. The Thruxton uses the same 865cc motor as the Bonneville but with higher compression pistons and a mild cam profile change. The performance difference is barely noticeable. The latest Triumph at that time was marketed either Red or Black painted, but who cared? We had a café racer back in our hands and we wore more willing to enjoy it than ever before.
