Triumph just held their international launch for the all-new Triumph Thruxton, where journalists from around the world got to test it out and get the full run down on the bike. Initial reports are good but, with a such a lofty price tag, it’s a tough pill to swallow. Would you buy one?

The stock Thruxton has an MSRP of $12,500 for the black model or $12,750 for the white or green. If you want the R, which adds nicer suspension, brakes, and tires, brings that up to $14,500. For a retro Triumph. Oof.

That puts it up there with the BMW r nineT (which I also think is massively overpriced) while not feeling as premium or fancy.
