Thruxton 900
The Telegraph reviews the Triumph Thruxton 900. Works for me.
The Thruxton will be bought for its style rather than performance and, of all Triumph's retro range, this look works the best. The black and white chequered central stripe is lacquered into the deep paint, the cast tank badge oozes quality and the whole machine blends convincing Brit bike culture, the authenticity of the badge and configuration, and an air of solidity and substance.

Retro bikes are as cheesy as kit cars. Triumph makes some great bikes, but this isn't one of them.

And you don't need the legs of a kangaroo or the stamina of a triathelete condender to start them.
