    After 3 Harley's this is a breath of fresh air. Very nice off the show room floor. have to agree with above review, the exhaust is a little quite. But not to worry there are great sites out there with every thing you would need for upgrades. So far bike has been very easy to work on and reliable. ...

    A very fine recreation of the cafe racers of old. And very functional too!

    The look of the bike grabs you from the start. Beautifully smooth lines, exposed engine with just enough shiny parts to remind you what motorcycles were meant to be. Triumph designed their cafe racer just right.

    Power delivery is smooth. You won't want to race a Hayabusa, but you definitely ...

    Ultimately, the Thruxton is a cafe racer's dream come true and I'm very happy and satisfied with it. I'm sure if I got a Bonneville and made the same modifications, I'd be spending a lot more (and void the warranty). One thing to remember is that it is not a sport bike with "throwback" looks. It is a lightweight cruiser heavily modified to perform better. That's what makes the Thruxton unique and pretty much the real deal.

    There is a downside. The stock exhaust is too wimpy-sounding for this bike, but that can be modified. I'm sure other modifications will adjust for power and handling, but right off the showroom floor it is an impressive machine.

    ... and it doesn't hurt to turn heads in the parking lots.

    The Thruxton becons back to a simpler time: Before PDAs, GPS, and cell phones. While the machine definitely has modern engineering, it feels as though it is in tune with the road and wind.

    A sportbike rider may feel the Thrux is underpowered; However, it feels like the right amount ...

    When you do decide and stop for gas, there is always someone who wants to gawk at the Thruxton. "What year is it? How long did it take to restore?" are two of the more common comments heard.

    AS stated earlier, the bike takes you back to a bygone era, and does so with the right amount of power, handling, class, and street credentials to pull it off.
