A modern Thruxton with vintage race swagger![]()
We’ve always had a soft spot for the Triumph Thruxton. It’s one of those platforms that invites interpretation. Clean lines, classic proportions, modern reliability.
Icon 1000 took that foundation and turned it into something sharper.
The custom Triumph Thruxton “Three Martini Lunch” leans into vintage race cues without slipping into costume. Fairing up front, deep green paint, low stance. It looks like it belongs on an open desert road at golden hour, not parked outside a coffee shop.
We’ve featured Icon 1000 before, including their Harley Davidson Iron Lung roadracer build, and this Thruxton shows a different side of the same mindset. Less brute force. More restraint. Still unmistakably theirs.
The quarter fairing isn’t new territory, but the execution here feels deliberate. The lines are tight. The stance is confident. It keeps the Thruxton’s identity intact while pushing it closer to something race-ready.
The base is a 2014 Triumph Thruxton, but the changes are purposeful. The tank is reshaped. The fairing is a modified Arlen Ness Ducati HM900E piece. The rear hoop and tail section tighten the profile. A modified Airtech Harley road race unit influences the rear silhouette. Wheels are 16-inch shouldered alloy KZ rims, front and rear.
It’s not a radical teardown. It’s refinement.
Where the build really comes alive is in motion. The riding shots say more than the spec sheet ever could. The bike sits low and composed, planted through sweepers, the fairing cutting clean air while the green paint catches desert light.
Icon 1000 has a way of building motorcycles that feel considered without feeling precious. The “Three Martini Lunch” Thruxton lands squarely in that space. It respects the original platform but isn’t afraid to reinterpret it.
