Classic Café Racer looks
Very low mileage
Superb condition

THE APPEAL

Inspired by the 50s and 60s Café Racer style, the Triumph Thruxton 900 is a modern take on a true classic. Featuring fuel injection cleverly hidden within the authentic-looking carburettors, the Thruxton gives reliability and performance whilst still looking like a retro racer.

This lovely example has been with the vendor since 2011, and he has only covered around 100 miles in the past 12 years. Whilst not in use, it has remained as part of his collection in a temperature-controlled garage with some other classic cars and bikes. Now is the time to sell the Thruxton 900 to let someone have the pleasure of riding the modern classic Café Racer style Triumph, which gives an authentic retro experience that doesn’t disappoint.
