TRIUMPH Thruxton 900 (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Thruxton was a series of British-made motorcycles powered by a parallel-twin air-cooled engine in a sports package. The name Thruxton was first used on a hand-built machine in the 1960s and later revived in the 2000s.

In 2007, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thruxton 900, a cafe racer-styled machine in its fourth year of production. The 2007 model came with several visual modifications.

The bike featured a revised stripe decal on the tank and passenger seat cover, a black-finished engine with polished and lacquered covers, color-matched fenders, and a new Tornado Red color scheme.

In the visual department, the bike 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 shock absorbers on the rear, a dual exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.

In the performance department, the 2007 Triumph Thruxton 900 had its soul brought to life by an 865cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine managed by two carburetors, delivering 69 hp at 6,400 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,400 rpm.

The engine power was handled by 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 motorcycle to a top speed of 185 kph (115 mph).
