The Thruxton is the sportier, more athletic version of the Bonneville, in both looks and performance. It was originally handmade in 1965 for the purpose of endurance racing (its moniker comes from the track of the same name, where it won the top three spots in 1969). It’s now factory-made after being reintroduced in 2004 with modern components and a stock 96hp.
Maintaining its retro style, straight foundation line, and low weight, the Thruxton is a natural choice for anyone with café racer fever dreams. And if a solo-seater just doesn’t make practical sense, you can always go two-up with a new seat.
