Triumph Thruxton Race 

I just bought a Truxton because of the heritage and sweet café look. My first ride on it made me realize there was more to this than just heritage. This is a real racer. Sure its not a CBR but coming from a Harley Softail this is fast for me. I love it and this video just seals the deal. I'm so happy I got this bike. Ton Up!

I already have a Thruxton...but what kind of camera?!

what have you done to the engine? The stock Thruxton is known for its boring lame engine...so how do you get this much power out of it?

I shouted at the screen over & over. When the "tin man" took you I made this comment "dial your brakes & your head" to get them on corner entry.

Awesome circuit..its look like golf field than a circuit..

Fun track ! Virginia International Raceway South course

So sick! Thanks for posting this!

@lagerx61 It looks like the Virginia International Raceway

This is in Virginia?? Damn! Why don't we have races like this in So Cal???

I would just dislike because I don't have one ...

Hallo, where is the track and what the name of it?

That was an AHRMA Thruxton cup race at VIR circa 2009. Camera on board #135 Fred Wilink. 593 Dustin Foretich, 81X Wick Wilkerson, 55X Walt Bolton, 858 Charlie Steinman and me 826 Jonah Wassermann who disappeared off into the distance on lap one for the win 😀. Good old days!

@TheDucati8v its the bike mate

Here in Brazil, a Thruxton costs US$ 23,500, the same price of a Honda CBR600RR !!!

where can i get that ohlins suspension for my thruxton as the ones these guys are using

Where is this circuit?

Thank You. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

A stock Thruxton has 68, not sure about racers though.

what camera did you use? awesome quality well done where it was shoot? location , race track name? thx

それが楽しみだったに違いない、個人的に私は、そのルックスのいずれかを取得しませんが、私は楽しみのために一つになるだろう。

@akakuro229 (どういたしまして)

pole position?

All respect to the parallel twins and cafe' nakeds.

LOL at these clowns, zero idea how to take corners.

i'm new to riding, and I'm not sure how often that actually happens, but I almost shat bricks when you rode up onto the grass at around 6:10. I wanna do this one day, though. where is this track?? i live up in NoVA

is this at VIR?

How many HP does a Race-Ready Thruxton has ?

@TheEscape2012 You go past 4000 rpms ;)

@TheEscape2012 "AHRMA also has released the technical requirements for machines participating in the Thruxton Cup Challenge. To keep the series competitive and affordable, as well as to preserve the unique cafe-racer look of the Thruxton 900, few modifications will be allowed. Fenders, bodywork and wheels must remain standard, and treaded tires are required. The only modification allowed to the engine is multi-angle or radius valve jobs, but the exhaust system and jetting may be changed."

Bloody good job mate, nice riding, i was cheering you on like mad. Great video.

Camera man never dies

Almost failed on the bend. Too wide, grass is your friend XD

excellent 😃😉

what camera did you use? awesome quality well done

Thruxtonのレース楽しそうですね。

Is this Thruxton the race track or Thruxton the triumphs? Both are exceptional. Those twins are gorgeous.

My favorite sound is whatever part of the bike that was touching down on the deck on that one left hander .... ~skeeet skeeet~ .... the bike was leaned about as far over as possible. Really cool video.

Dude- you post this incredible footage, and that's it? More! MORE!!!

3... 2... 1... -- YOU ALL LOSE. 65HP????

Very nice bikes. What's the power/weight you can get in race trim? Love my Daytona but this would also be a very interesting project, and maybe a tad cheaper to boot.

0:22 is pretty exciting on the right side...

Great video, but I wish the starting line bit wasn't so long.

on the grass @ 6:17! Oh nooo!

Any idea what the average speed was for this race?

私もTHRUXTON乗りです。 THRUXTONのワンメイクレース楽しそうですね。

saw one of my first 'new' vintage Thruxton's this weekend, made me want one of these classic beauties so bad....

Spectacular and beautifull track, good video ;-)
