However, today marks the start of a new page in history to be exact as the British motorcycle maker has announced new models of the Bonneville range along with the very beautiful cafe racer, the Thruxton, in two avatars, the normal and the 'R' spec version. Styling wise there is new tank, new side panels, better seats and other tit bits have been changed to make more appealing.

Triumph like any other old school motorcycle maker is offering endless options to customize your Bonneville and Thruxton bikes cosmetically with stripes, seats, cowls and much more than expected. Rumours suggest that a 470-page accessory catalog is on the way. Mechanically, there it the new 900cc engine, which is replacing the 865cc engine. It makes 20 Nm of torque more at 80 Nm from the new engine. Power figures on all bikes are not out yet. Efficiency is said to be 36% more from all parallel twin engines that both these bikes are updated with. The 1200cc engine, which will come with T120 and T120 black are called as High Torque engines. Street Twin and Thruxton R both have an all-new chassis.

The numbers are 54% more than previous version. Engine comes equipped ride by wire throttle, liquid cooling, which will help deliver smooth and linear power delivery in lower and middle of the power band thanks to an improved firing order of 270 degrees. Thruxton R on the other hand is the real deal here from Triumph and it has the best cafe racer ever as it is equipped mechanically to live upto that name 'cafe racer'. Lower inertia crank and higher compression helps producing 112Nm at 4,950rpm from its 8-valve 1200cc parallel twin-engine. Triumph is claiming a big increase in power of 62% over the current Thruxton model. Chassis wise, it gets Ohlins shock at the rear and Showa forks at the front.
