Triumph Thruxton
A UK based organization has landed with this new and latest technology model. The Thruxton is the only cafe racer model in the Triumph line-up. It gets a typical single seat, low end handlebars with traditional bar end mirrors and fly screen. The tradition and custom of such bikes are limited in the current era, but the appeal of these bikes will definitely make a big space for themselves.
