Triumph Thruxton 1200 2019

Triumph Thruxton 1200 2019

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!

Triumph Thunderbird 2011

Triumph Thunderbird 2011

A Thunderbird is just as unique and independent on the motorbike market as a Speed Triple, a Rocket III or a Scrambler. And you can feel it. Through the cultivated rumble of the two parallel pistons, the powerful bite of the Nissin four-piston fixed calipers on 310 mm discs and the friendly glances of passers-by.
