Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Thruxton 1200R 2016

A masterpiece in combining classic design and new technology. The new Thruxton R is a retro naked bike with serious sporting ambitions that need not fear a trip to the racetrack. The engine is a blast and the brakes and chassis are of the highest standard. The ABS and TC riding aids are on board as standard and can be switched off if required. With 2 Inspiration kits, a Race kit and over 160 accessories, the Thruxton is infinitely customisable. Perhaps the best attempt yet to combine history with the future.

Full torque

strong brakes

top chassis

anti-hopping
