Thruxton RS Ton Up

Inspired by the original café racers, the legendary and iconic Ton Up boys of the 1950s and 60s, the Thruxton Ton Up Edition plays homage to both the characters and the bike that played a major part in the birth of motorcycle motorsport. The first ever production motorcycle to accomplish a 100mph lap of the Isle of Man TT, achieved by Malcolm Uphill in 1969, the Thruxton inspired a generation of teenage racers, becoming the bike of choice for the Ton Up boys – a subculture centred around British café racers and Rock ‘n’ Roll music. This modern classic transforms a race-winning record-breaking machine into a practical and fun modern icon, without losing its archetypal, hair-raising, deep sound. Keeping its timeless silhouette, this special edition introduces a stunning new palette of Aegean Blue, Jet Black, Fusion White, and Carnival Red, available from January 2022 for one year only. Powered by the responsive and characterful Bonneville 1200cc twin engine and delivering 105 PS peak power at 7,500 rpm, it is fully Euro 5 compliant and optimised for high performance. With a light and agile chassis, the sporty riding position provides an engaging ride upon the low 810mm seat height, excellent for zippy road riding and fun blasts round the track. ABS technology and switchable traction control come as standard as well as three riding modes – Road, Rain, and Sport, which are enabled via ride-by-wire technology.

Available from £14,050
