The end of the road

Triumph have milked that cow so hard its tits must be scraping the ground

I've always loved the looks, particularly nice in red. A bit like the new Nortons but without all the worry and agro......if you know what I mean?

I did like the silver one. My neighbour had one but eventually sold it as he couldn’t get on with the riding position.

Which is why they introduced the Speed Twin 1200

Which is what I bought!
I just wished they put the better rear shock that the Thruxton had fitted.

The Ohlins on the Thruxton is from their 'value' end of the market although many do swap the Thruxton rear shocks over to the Speed Twin

I still have the matte black one - such a great looking bike I cannot find anything as good to replace it - an amazing feel good bike. Not sure they are selling many now as the price is over 14k

The Thruxton shocks are quite pricey second hand. Probably better to buy some better aftermarket ones.

That’s a whacking price ! I’ve always liked and hankered after a Thruxton. I’ve always thought a low barred, 50’s style nose fairing, upswept pipes bike would look good to me.

Yes I agree plus you can get them made to suit you

Being 13 years old in 1970 I thought cafe racers were the coolest thing ever but never thought I'd be able to afford such a thing. At the age of 61 I finally got my hands on one - it is such a shame that Triumph are going to stop making such a beautiful machine

Agreed, that seems a lot for an ageing Bonnie derivative.

It’s not an ageing Bonnie derivative….it’s a Heritage Model…keep up
