Triumph Thruxton

⚠️ Things to consider

• Limited passenger comfort: The Triumph Thruxton 1200 is not designed for long rides with a passenger due to its narrow seat and aggressive riding position.
• Heavy weight: The Thruxton 1200 is relatively heavy for a cafe racer style motorcycle, which can make it more challenging to maneuver at low speeds or in tight spaces.
• Limited wind protection: The minimal fairing and cafe racer styling of the Thruxton 1200 offer little wind protection for the rider, leading to increased fatigue on longer rides.
• Firm suspension: The suspension on the Thruxton 1200 is set up for sporty handling, which can result in a stiffer ride over rough roads or potholes.
• Higher maintenance costs: Triumph motorcycles, in general, tend to have higher maintenance costs compared to some other brands, which can add up over time for owners of the Thruxton 1200.
