Well the Thruxton IS a sports bike, or should i say "Cafe racer" its named after the Thruxton Circuit, track in Hampshire, where, in 1969 Triumph got the top three places in the Thruxton 500 mile endurance race. Also, this isn't a factory Thruxton, its been modified by UNICAT motorworks in Poland, a stock Thruxton doesnt have such low bars.
@IanFoot-sl1lp

The Speed Twin makes similar power to the Thruxton and has high bars. The standard clip-ons on the Thruxton have risers and aren't particularly low or uncomfortable. I have the bar lowering kit on my Thruxton and I can sit pretty upright and still reach the bars if I wish. It's a sporty bike, so it needs a sporty riding position.

What John Bloor did with Triumph is amazing, by the time the 70s rolled around Triumph were in big trouble, the bikes were well past their prime design wise, and were poorly assembled with parts made with worn out tooling. The company was being mis-managed by people that didn't care about the marque, and its surprising they staggered on as long as they did.

They look like that because there are weird design rules many countries have about placement of rego plates, rear reflectors and stuff, and where its supposed to be in regard to the rear wheel etc. Its all written up by bureaucrats who don't have the slightest idea about design, but the manufactures have to comply so.... Luckily there are aftermarket companies suppling all sorts of goodies for the Z900, from longer tail pieces like the original, to four into four exhausts, again like the original. I have seen some hideous faux pas styling add ons, like the fake "twin shocks" you can buy, to make it look like its a twin shock model.🤣🤣
