Triumph is introducing a special edition -- not be be confused with limited edition -- of its café racer-styled Thruxton, giving a sporty new look to a classic British design.
The 865cc parallel-twin Thruxton Special Edition, named after the British racetrack where Triumph enjoyed enormous success in the 1960s, debuts a red frame and Crystal White bodywork with red stripe. The bike also comes with a colour-matched factory fitted fly screen and blacked out engine cases.
Production of the new Triumph Thruxton Special Edition commences in early 2010, and the machine is expected in Australia around March.
Price is still to be confirmed, but the SE model will definitely come at a small premium over the standard Thruxton, which retails for $13,990.
