My Triumph Thruxton

My Triumph Thruxton

Here’s a picture of my Triumph motorcycle. I think it’s very beautiful. It’s a modern machine, so it rides beautifully, but everything isn’t quite as it seems. It looks like it’s air cooled, but you can see the radiator between the two frame down-tubes at the front. Behind the engine there’s what looks like a carburettor, but it’s just a cover – the engine is fuel injected. Lastly, it looks as though it has a straignt-through exhaust, but there’s a cover that hides where the exhaust gases are diverted to a catalytic converter. All of this to maintain a traditional appearance.
