Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2005 Triumph Thruxton. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
Released in 2004, the Thruxton was a factory cafe racer that Visor Down summed it up perfectly: “Triumph’s Thruxton is nostalgia in a bottle…”
For the first four years, the 865cc engine in the Thruxton was fed by carbs en route to producing 69 horsepower.
This example is VIN: SMT920K135J219562. “I’m the third owner of the motorcycle. Second owner of the motor. I bought the bike back in 2011 all stock with the exception of a Staintune slip-on exhaust.”
True mileage is unknown. “The motor currently in the bike had approximately 12k miles on it when I purchased it. I have put on another estimated 8k miles (estimated 20k total miles on the current motor). Total on the frame and body work is 30k miles.”
