It has fuel-injection throttle bodies that look like old Amal Monoblocks (sans cables), the best-looking exhaust system in years—with a catalytic converter hidden under the engine—and a nicely finned head and cylinders with a camouflaged radiator in front of them. Yet it looks clean and simple and works better than any British twin I’ve owned.
Egan is a bona fide old fart and he's giving the nod to the phony bits because, as he states later, he wants a bike he enjoys looking at when it's parked.
Funny thing is the bike, despite being a 1200 cc liquid-cooled beast, only makes 72 HP. To get the real power you've got to pony up a lot more dough for the Thruxton.
Good review, and a nice motorcycle, were my thoughts.
