Triumph Thruxton 1200 2017

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!
