The Triumph Thruxton was a series of British-made motorcycles powered by a parallel-twin air-cooled engine in a sports package. The Thruxton name was first used on a hand-built motorcycle that competed in endurance racing in the mid-1960s and was later revived in the 2000s.
In 2004, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thruxton 900, a bike manufactured at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England. The bike was powered by an air-cooled engine derived from the company's Bonneville model.
In addition, the bike received cafe racer modifications such as rear set footrests, a small fly screen, analog instruments, dual reversed-cone silencers, and a passenger seat cowl. From 2004 to 2008, the Thruxton 900 carburated models were manufactured at the Hinckley factory.
In the visual department, the motorcycle had standard features, such as a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a single seat with a pillion seat cover, side-mounted shocks, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.
The bike was built on a tubular steel cradle frame with a 41 mm adjustable fork on the front and adjustable twin shock absorbers on the rear with chromed springs.
Underneath its fuel tank, the 2004 Triumph Thruxton 900 had installed an 865cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 70 hp at 7,200 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 6,400 rpm.
