Riding Impression: 2009 Triumph Thruxton

I have seen many Triumphs in my time, and most of them are quite nice looking. In the past, the old-school Triumphs were much better than the American bikes of the time, but the Japanese came in and taught us a new meaning of reliability. Triumph soldiered on into the here and now and along the way picked up some solid reliability, style, and even soul to boot. The new Triumph Thruxton uses the same 865c.c. fuel-injected engine the Bonneville uses, and takes you back to a time when Triumph was first coming up in the world. However, it rides like a modern motorcycle in every way...
