THRUXTON R
At this year’s NEC show there was a permanent crowd surrounding a small area of Triumph’s stand. Even the traditional Triumph doubters were being drawn into the throng, and it was the result of one bike the Thruxton R. On looks, Triumph had blown the retro world apart, and then spiced things up further by adding an equally mouth watering array of goodies. This was a bike that had a spec list to tempt even the most ardent of sportsbike followers to at least give it a second glance. Brembo monobloc brakes, Öhlins shocks, a comprehensive electronics package and a 1200cc water cooled engine, this was a proper modern retro in every sense of the word.
