TRIUMPH Thruxton 900 (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Thruxton was a series of British-made motorcycles powered by a parallel-twin air-cooled engine and with a sports styling. The bike debuted in 2004 and was manufactured until 2016 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.

In 2009, the British motorcycle maker released the Triumph Thruxton 900, a cafe racer-styled machine with no extra modifications. It packed the same specifications as the previous model.

The bike was fitted with standard features, including a round headlight on the front with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece seat with a passenger seat cover, a dual exhaust system with an inverted cone muffler on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.

The 2009 motorcycle featured three color schemes meant to deliver a distinctive look: Jet Black with a gold stripe, Tornado Red with a white stripe, and Aluminum Silver with a red line.

Between the wheels, the 2009 Triumph Thruxton 900 had installed an 865cc four-stroke two-cylinder air-cooled engine with two carburetors in charge, boasting 69 hp at 7,250 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 5,750 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch linked to the rear wheel through a final X-ring chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 185 kph (115 mph).
