This is what they wrote after the release:
The compression increase and a freer-flowing airbox produce a high and very smooth torque curve, one that Triumph claims peaks at 80 pound-feet at 5,000 rpm, a huge jump from the previous model. More impressive was the breadth of the curve that was briefly flashed on screen at the press launch, with torque staying within 10 percent of peak from 3,000 rpm almost to the 7,000-rpm redline. If that holds for production, the stock Thruxtons will approach the 100-hp level.
100hp out of a 1200cc mill isn't much to write home about though, is it?

...I think I'm keeping my Thruxton. Forever
The street twin is an entry level/girls bike, which Triumph also needs. I like the new Thruxton way better than the old one....on paper.
