I just bought a Truxton because of the heritage and sweet café look. My first ride on it made me realize there was more to this than just heritage. This is a real racer. Sure its not a CBR but coming from a Harley Softail this is fast for me. I love it and this video just seals the deal. I'm so happy I got this bike. Ton Up!
My favorite sound is whatever part of the bike that was touching down on the deck on that one left hander .... ~skeeet skeeet~ .... the bike was leaned about as far over as possible. Really cool video.
That was an AHRMA Thruxton cup race at VIR circa 2009. Camera on board #135 Fred Wilink. 593 Dustin Foretich, 81X Wick Wilkerson, 55X Walt Bolton, 858 Charlie Steinman and me 826 Jonah Wassermann who disappeared off into the distance on lap one for the win 😀. Good old days!
@TheEscape2012 "AHRMA also has released the technical requirements for machines participating in the Thruxton Cup Challenge. To keep the series competitive and affordable, as well as to preserve the unique cafe-racer look of the Thruxton 900, few modifications will be allowed. Fenders, bodywork and wheels must remain standard, and treaded tires are required. The only modification allowed to the engine is multi-angle or radius valve jobs, but the exhaust system and jetting may be changed."
Very nice bikes. What's the power/weight you can get in race trim? Love my Daytona but this would also be a very interesting project, and maybe a tad cheaper to boot.
i'm new to riding, and I'm not sure how often that actually happens, but I almost shat bricks when you rode up onto the grass at around 6:10. I wanna do this one day, though. where is this track?? i live up in NoVA

Amazing video. Thanks for uploading. You scared me on the first turn!
it feels like i am the one riding! makes my blood pump! it is a great video
Is this Thruxton the race track or Thruxton the triumphs? Both are exceptional. Those twins are gorgeous.
Almost failed on the bend. Too wide, grass is your friend XD
Camera man never dies
Fun track ! Virginia International Raceway South course
This is in Virginia?? Damn! Why don't we have races like this in So Cal???
Here in Brazil, a Thruxton costs US$ 23,500, the same price of a Honda CBR600RR !!!
Spectacular and beautifull track, good video ;-)
I shouted at the screen over & over. When the "tin man" took you I made this comment "dial your brakes & your head" to get them on corner entry.
you got the "tin man" back!!!
3:50 for the startline
Nice racing by the way, looks fun!
Great video, but I wish the starting line bit wasn't so long.
So sick! Thanks for posting this!
What a fantastic video.
Nice vid, Fred.
Excellent video! :-)

This was awesome! Great post! Was that your knee guard scraping I heard on some of those tight corners? :
Nice video! Any modifications to the bike?

それが楽しみだったに違いない、個人的に私は、そのルックスのいずれかを取得しませんが、私は楽しみのために一つになるだろう。
nice bike, nice vid
I would just dislike because I don't have one ...
How many HP does a Race-Ready Thruxton has ?
Hallo, where is the track and what the name of it?
@TheEscape2012 You go past 4000 rpms ;)
Nice video. I suppose they're not using the stock tires?
pole position?
Any idea what the average speed was for this race?
is this at VIR?
Get tighter in the curves boy!!!!! Hahahaha love the thruxton always have nd will
Go go go!!!!!
Hey, how well does these Thruxtons hang with the AMA Harley XR1200s?
triumph would blow harley away
Where is this circuit?
3... 2... 1... -- YOU ALL LOSE. 65HP????
not pegs, knees
Go Perry!
what have you done to the engine?
The stock Thruxton is known for its boring lame engine...so how do you get this much power out of it?
@akakuro229 (どういたしまして)
0:22 is pretty exciting on the right side...
dat sound!
LOL at these clowns, zero idea how to take corners.
