Triumph Thruxton 1200R 2016

Triumph Thruxton 1200R 2016

Our testers agreed: in our retro bike comparison, the Thruxton R was the most authentic. Its beautiful design is an exclusive replica of the original cafe racers that originated in England in the 60s. Its inner values, however, are completely in keeping with modern times and inspire with a great, high-torque engine and a sporty chassis with high-quality brakes. The retro sports cannon perfectly combines history with the present and convinces with a wonderful driving experience - whether for leisurely cruising or sporty, ambitious corner chasing.
