Thruxton 1200 Review. Both are as good as each other although the difference being the shocks and front brakes on the R model.

The styling on this Triumph Thruxton is beautiful and attention to detail has definitely not been overlooked.

On A Triumph rally I had the opportunity to ride several of the triumph range the one that curled my toes to most was the Thruxton 1200 R. The Thruxton R is a gorgeous motorcycle. Where the old 900 costs around 7600 when new the new 1200 and 1200 R were 10400 and 11700 respectively although if compared to contemporary sports bikes with a similar ÖhlinsBrembo and riding modes spec that price wasnt at all bad.
