Harking back to the heady days of seaside punch-ups between Mods and Rockers, the Triumph Thruxton is clearly pitched at nostalgia-hungry bikers now in their prime.
Based on the firm's Bonneville model, the 865cc parallel twin cafe racer has received praise in Britain's motorbike press for its rider-friendly nature – despite having rugged, streetwise looks.
Soft suspension and a gentle riding position ensure a comfortable ride.
Not a great deal has changed since the Thruxton first hit our roads a decade ago, aside from a fuel injection set-up made to look like carburettors.
The 68bhp engine ensures those who wish to breach the 100mph mark can do so, but for those seeking real motorbike muscle, the Thruxton may not be ideal.
However, the price tag of £7,399, comfortable ride and retro looks will ensure the Thruxton goes on being a success - and will no doubt be a regular sight at biker meet-ups from Clacton on Sea to Brighton.
This Sixties-style machine offers a range of 150 miles and is available to buy now.
