Triumph has introduced an SE version of its café racer-styled Thruxton, giving a sporty new look to a classic British design.

The 865cc parallel-twin Thruxton Special Edition, named after the British racetrack where Triumph enjoyed enormous success in the 1960s, debuts a stunning red frame and Crystal White bodywork with red stripe. The bike also comes with a colour-matched factory fitted fly screen and blacked out engine cases.

Combining modern engineering with a retro sports look, the Thruxton has long been a popular choice among motorcyclists wishing to experiment with custom paint and the factory special edition introduces two premium colours to the Triumph range for the first time.

Crystal White is a brand new colour for Triumph, containing a high metallic content to create a luxurious paint finish while the red powder coated frame is also a first time feature.

The Thruxton SE is available from authorised dealers now @ $14490 + ORC.
