Have you ever had a situation where you went on a blind date and you thought it'd work out one way, but instead it worked out another?
That's kind of how I felt after spending time with both the new 2026 Triumph Thruxton 400 and the 2026 Triumph Tracker 400, one right after the other. Incidentally, if you're interested in reading my thoughts on the stunningly gorgeous Thruxton 400, you can find those here (and don't worry; there's a video coming soon as well).
Now, motorcycle design and how it hits you has always been incredibly subjective. For me, the looks of the Thruxton are still some of the most stunning in its class. For me, the look of the Tracker 400 didn't immediately grab my heartstrings so hard. It's by no means a bad-looking bike, but you know how it goes; you like what you like, you know?
