Low,
narrow handlebars – known as clip-ons (two separate bars that bolt directly
to each fork tube), clubman or ace bars (one piece bars that attach to the
standard mounting location but drop down and forward) – enabled the rider to "tuck in", reducing wind
resistance and improving control. Along with the rearward located seat, the
posture often required rearsets, or rear-set footrests and
foot controls, again typical of racing motorcycles of the era. Distinctive half or full race-style
fairings were sometimes mounted to the forks or frame.
The Thruxton is born of the cafe
racer culture that dominated motorcycling in the 1960s.
Back then, British twins, usually
Bonneville engines, were used to form the basis of home built bikes. Used to
race from one cafe to another, they featured extensive modifications such as
dropped bars, single seats and upswept exhausts.
And just like those café racers
of the 60s, the modern Thruxton is Bonneville based but nowadays, Triumph’s
engineers has made sure it rides like a modern Triumph twin. So it’s dependable
enough for everyday use, easy and fun to ride yet still evokes the classic café
racer look.
