Nostalgic Yet Reliable

I bought my 2009 Thuxton after specifically waiting for the fuel injection system. Yes, this is the first EFI Thruxton (and Bonneville), but Triumph has had the same EFI on their Speed America for years, lending to a reliable system without "first year" quirks. The Thruxton is not the fast...est, but most people buy it to ride on legal streets and highways. 140mph is great on track days, but if you want that kind of speed, you need to look at the Daytona 675. The triumph is wind in hair- bugs in teeth fun and gives me a feeling of going back thru time to another era where the journey could be more fun than the destination. Besides, the whole reason bikes became popular in the beginning was individualism... and with so many Harleys on the road that look the same, why not try something different? Read Full Review

The reasonable alternative

Grab a fist full, it won't hurt the bike or your driving record. Modern retro turns heads and allows you to enjoy the ride, without the "I need to be a racer mentality".



The bike is more than competent for normal street use, and with the bars raised, you can ride long distances relative...ly comfortably.

I can commute 120 miles a day on just under 3 gallons of fuel. I have not tried to see how far a tank of gas will last; I am happy with the fuel range.

The bike cruises 80mph with out any issues. Super fun, I have 900 miles on my 2009 Thruxton already. Read Full Review

What a Hoot to Ride!

As a young man, I owned several bikes (Japanese / American / British). The bike I liked the most was a Triumph. I owned several but my favorite was a 1980 (licensed as a 1979 due to emissions) 750 Bonneville. It was light, nimble, and fun to ride – it turned a lot of heads. I bought my 2009 Thruxton... because it incorporated fuel injection and reminds me of those younger days. The engine starts flawlessly and performs very well, the transmission shifts extremely well with just a slight notch, and I am impressed with the quality of the bike. It’s a hoot to ride. I am also impressed with the amount of accessories available for the new Bonnie. I have fitted it up with arrow exhaust, YSS rear shocks and YSS progressive front fork springs. This bike hits a home run. Read Full Review
