Interesting Triumph bringing out another Cafe Racer. Agree with the man - doesn’t match the Thruxton in the looks department. Be a hoot to ride no doubt
!
The bike in that photo was built less than 10 years ago.I picked up this like 65 Ducati.
Been sitting as a display piece at a Ducati dealer for 20+ years, I was told by the seller.
He claims it’s never been ridden and looking in the cylinder with a borescope, it appears he’s right.
Couldn’t get it to idle, had to clean carb, install a new battery (total loss ignition) Change oil and fresh gas.
That's a pretty Duck from days gone by.I picked up this like 65 Ducati.

You’ve become a true Ducatista !Sounds very healthy.
See, that's how you do an overpriced bike!!! Service nightmare like the rest of them since the engine is a frame member but again...its super premium. I'm torn about liking the design, but it's hard to beat its lines.Ducati is bringing back the cafe. https://www.ducati.com/us/en/bikes/heritage/formula-73
