Thruxton is a well-known racing circuit in Hampshire (Great Britain) and following the 1969 success of a first, second and third-placed romp home for Triumph in the Thruxton 500 (a 500-mile endurance race), a series of very special racing Bonnevilles was born.

Back in the late 60s, Triumph was having a rather successful showing in the Thruxton 500 mile endurance race and this, no doubt, led to the popularity of the café racer style.
To make the purring Thruxton sound like a proper classic bike, Donald told me that it's easy to get hold of some aftermarket pipes to replace the standard 'megaphones', and they'll only set you back a couple or three hundred quid.
Essentially, the £5995 Thruxton is more of a poser's bike than a comfy all-rounder, and having got the hang of touching terra firma (always good if you're going to pose), the attention, mainly from youngsters, was rewarded with the freeing up of a few of those 96 horses.
