Triumph Thruxton Side View

The 2014 Triumph Thruxton Reviewed: Time Machine

Value: 3.5 / 5

2014 Triumph Thruxton Rider Stills (2)

The Thruxton comes to India via a CKD route and therefore is priced attractively. It costs Rs 6.9 Lakhs (Ex-Showroom Delhi), which puts it right in the territory of the Harley-Davidson Iron 883. We think the Thruxton is good value at this price for what it offers with its retro looks, mature performance & handling and if you ever buy one, it will narrate your personality visually, through its looks. Don’t expect kids to jump in glee when they see you on the Thruxton. However, admiration from that classy gentleman wearing a Scottish hat, and a smile that affirms approval from that woman of substance in the car next to you at a red light is guaranteed.

Verdict: 3.5 / 5 Stars overall

This bike is a jack of all trades and the king of looks. It is neither an outright performance machine nor the perfect track toy. However, this bike manages to strum the strings of your heart. It does everything just right and is the perfect toy for Sunday morning rides and highway runs. Even when the weather doesn’t permit, this is that bike which you spend time cleaning, polishing, get some grease on your hands and some dirt on your vest. The Thruxton takes you back in time when beauty potions for men were non-existent and hairy-chested fighter pilots flew jets without canopies. The bike isn’t meant for boys, nothing about it screams, its mere presence announces it is meant for men.

Gentleman on a 2014 Triumph Thruxton

The charm of the bike is such that we found an instant customer next to the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Central Delhi. A middle aged gentleman with his grey hair and Rayban Aviators stood there admiring the bike, walked towards us, took a feel of the motorcycle and the way his face lit up, we’re sure he felt a Thruxton years younger.

  1. It’s mostly our man behind the lens, Bobby Roy. Also, more than the camera, it’s the L-series lens working its magic.
    Thanks a lot for the compliments though.
