Triumph Cafe Racer Bikes

The Thruxton 400 has the classic cafe racer look, but its ride-by-wire throttle brings modern electronic control into the picture. I like the idea of smoother, more measured throttle response when accelerating out of a bend. Traction control adds support if the rear tyre starts to lose grip under acceleration, especially on a slippery patch. These systems work in different ways, but both matter when I want to enjoy the bike’s sporty side while staying aware of how the road surface can change.
