| | Triumph Bonneville Thruxton 900 - Real Classic Motorcycle Profiles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | 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. |
