Lot Essay

The Triumph Thruxton combined Bonneville underpinnings with cafe-racer styling inspired by Triumph’s celebrated racing heritage. This bike is a highly developed and impressively specified example that has been enhanced beyond its factory specification. With a displacement increase to 904 cc, power and torque were substantially boosted, while Keihin FCR flatslide carburetors provide improved response and overall performance. High-quality Öhlins suspension in both front and rear transforms the dynamic character of the machine, and the fitting of aftermarket triple clamps and handlebars places the rider in a sporting position. A Vincent-style taillight and front fender number plate add period visual character, while a Staintune exhaust system provides an evocative and deeply satisfying soundtrack to accompany this impressive machine.
