Some nice looking bikes.

I like the idea and the look of that Street Twin, even if the marketing is a bit hipster.

Triumph do the classic stuff really well. I've always liked the Thruxton and wouldn't object to owning one if I had the space and cash.

Not meaning to hijack the thread but any news on the 959 Duke ?

16 November, Blade.

Led to believe it has a couple of surprises up its sleeve.

Oh dear, the Triumph website seems to have crashed

At least people are showing an interest.

The Triumph Thruxton also gets a 1200cc engine but it isn’t identical to the T120. This engine not only makes more torque – 112Nm at 4,950rpm but it also makes greater power and revs higher though Triumph wouldn’t discuss either in more detail at this event. Styled as an extremely attractive cafe racer, the base Triumph Thruxton now gets a higher spec R model featuring adjustable Showa upside down forks up front, Brembo Monobloc radially mounted callipers and a fully adjustable Ohlins rear shock set. The Thruxton also gets Pirelli’s excellent Diablo Rossi Corsa tyres to reiterate its sporty intent. In terms of electronics, the Thruxton spec adds a Sport mode.

Impressive Torque.

Agree with both points.

I'm at the event (well back t hotel now)

Been really good, the classics are pretty good and I was never a classic fan. I have loads of pics and video of the street twin running with the new high level 2 into 1 exhaust from Vance and Hines. They were over here for the launch and reveal of the classics and Vance and Hines as a genuine accessory

Well done D6. Nice to see someone other than Arrow doing cans for Triumph

Nice works D6 and hope your having a good time at the show

There's loads of systems they have done for the 3 models revealed this weekend (street twin, Thruxton and Bonneville)

Thruxton is meant to be awesome.

Got any pics or videos with sound ?

Got both, but they are too big to allow me to upload from my phone, and I only have my works laptop which I cant connect hardware too (or they don't like us to)

If they want someone to do a long term test...............

"A Timeless Icon"....it's been around since pussy was a cat.

"Beauty Heightened"....we hired a blind Samoan dude to head our PR department and write this sh##.

that sounds beefy.

I like this stuff from Triumph. There's nothing wrong with having brand recognition. The sales suggest that they're well received motorbikes.

Does indeed make a great sound.

Not sure why the vid wont link properly though.

My dad loves bonnies and to be honest I am getting to that stage in my life where so am I haha!! Had a quick skim through the video, looked pretty impressive in my opinion
