In 2009, alongside the base model, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thruxton SE, a symbolic piece of machinery that featured a Crystal White paint scheme with a red stripe.
The 2009 SE model was available in a Crystal White color scheme with a red stripe from the new front headlight cowl through the fuel tank and all the way to the rear passenger seat cover. In addition, the bike featured a red-finished frame, polished wire-spoke wheels, and shiny chromed silencers.
Besides that, the SE model packed the same standard features as the previous model, with a round headlight, a single seat with a pillion seat cover, dual side-mounted rear shocks, a dual exhaust system, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.
For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm preload-adjustable telescopic fork on the front and dual side-mounted shock absorbers with adjustable preload, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.
The bike's wheels were fitted with a 320 mm floating disc coupled to a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 255 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear, providing optimum braking performance.
As for the power figures, the 2009 Triumph Thruxton 900 SE had its heartbeat set by an 865cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 69 hp at 7,250 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 5,750 rpm.
