Air-Cooled R: Triumph never built an R version of the air-cooled carb-fed Thruxton, which left Andrew Graham of @tridentcycles wondering: “What could the factory have built?”

2005 Triumph Thruxton decked out with a 988cc Triumph Performance USA engine (92-hp), Daytona 675 forks / brakes, @ohlinsusa shocks, @motogpwerks CalFab swingarm, Carrozzeria wheels, @british_customs exhaust, Discacciati rearsets, LSL steering damper, and much more. Built over a 10-year period.

“For me it is the original air-cooled R version of what Triumph has recently put out with the new 1200 Thruxton R. It has near the same horsepower and weighs in 50lb less.”

NOW FOR SALE! Contact Andrew at @tridentcycles for details / price.
