Triumph Thruxton 1200 2017

Even though the Thruxton 1200 is supposed to be the sporty model of the retro line, the normal model was designed to be refreshingly suitable for everyday use and thus harmonious - the sportier Thruxton 1200 R serves the true retro racers anyway. This leaves a powerful engine that revs heartily, a good-natured braking system, a somewhat elongated but sufficiently comfortable seating position and inconspicuously packaged electronic features in a motorbike that visually trumps with reminiscences of the good old days without being embarrassing. Triumph has also done an excellent job with the Thruxton 1200!

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.
