2005 Triumph Thruxton 900 for sale in New Haven, CT
2005 Triumph Thruxton 900 Thruxton 900 LOW LOW MILES The past is a glorious place to visit for a brief time at least.
But the past can also teach us much and one lesson has stood the passage of time - that the raw essence of motorcycling transcends all technology.
And all that's really needed for many are an engine two wheels and a pair of handlebars.
No more no less.
A fact the Thruxton 900 proved so elegantly.
Drawing on the Spartan cafe racing machines of the sixties and taking its name from the near-mythic racing Triumphs from the same era its 865cc air-cooled twin-cylinder engine looks and feels like a motorcycle engine should - real.
Wrapping the motor is a precisely crafted chassis that inspires confidence thanks to fine-tuned suspension and delivers total control thanks to quick steering and powerful brakes.
The Thruxton 900's silhouette sends nape hairs instantly on end; the steeply angled clip-on handlebars rear-set foot pegs and evocative seat hump connect the past with the present.
And looks so right.
And like the saying goes handed down through the ages; if it looks right it is right.
