Street Tracker
hi guys, :wave:
if you read the various advertising speel or hype about the difference between a Bonneville & a Thruxton particularly the carb'd versions, triumph maintain it's thruxton is the most high performance of the two. does anyone really know the actual facts. most part specs & manuals etc say the parts like cams etc are much the same, adverts say hotter tune, high compression different carb needles etc, if so to what specs are they different, jetting seems the same according to the workshop manuals out there. some info says it runs a higher compression, some say it is identical. has anyone out there really ever checked this out for sure ?
seems bloody strange & stupid why there is so much secrecy over the actual facts with the real specs between the two models.
it would really make it so much more easy to mod a Bonneville to similar specs if any of this was true or could be verified.
someone out there must really know, there is too much here-say and bull to really get the facts IMO :huh:
