TRIUMPH Thruxton 900 (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, the British motorcycle manufacturer released the Triumph Thruxton 900, a cafe racer-styled motorcycle that debuted in 2004. The 2006 machine came in the same shape and form as the previous model without any modifications.

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight with the instruments mounted on top, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, side-mounted rear shocks, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike was built around a tubular steel cradle frame with a 41 mm adjustable telescopic fork on the front and dual adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

The braking power relied on a single 320 mm floating disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 255 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering optimum braking performance.

As for the power figures, the 2006 Triumph Thruxton 900 had installed underneath its fuel tank an 865cc four-stroke two-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered 69 hp at 7,200 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,400 rpm.

The power from the engine was transferred to a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a final X-ring chain drive, pushing the machine to a top speed of 185 kph (115 mph).
