2004 Triumph
Thruxton
MSRP $7,999
Running through the fast backside of the track at over 100 mph quickly shows the Thruxton's suspension's limitations, although the movement from the suspension is not unexpected or too out of hand. As mentioned in our preview of the Thruxton, the suspension has been upgraded at both ends from the Bonneville, and the steering quickened with the use of longer and more sophisticated shocks. The single 320mm front brake needs the assistance of the 255mm rear to make fast stops, and there is a strange twisting feeling from the fairly soft front forks if the four-piston caliper is applied too hard. The extra weight of a second disc was deemed unnecessary during Triumph's testing.
