- Triumph launches Special Edition versions of the Bonneville and
Speed Triple.
- Bonneville SE changes include a head turning red frame, a
distinctive new paint scheme, new headlight mounts and a black
pillion grab rail.
- Speed Triple SE carries a blue frame, eye catching tank
stripes, colour matched fly screen, belly pan and seat cowl, and
extensive carbon fibre to complete the sporty premium look.
Triumph Motorcycles has launched two Special Edition SE models
of its iconic Bonneville and Speed Triple bikes.
The new Special Edition Bonneville - with its characteristic
865cc engine, retro chrome styling and cast aluminium wheels -
boasts an array of enhancements to create a hugely distinctive
bike. Whilst the funky red frame and stunning paint job immediately
catches the eye, there is a wealth of other changes styling the
bike.
The front end gets new front indicators and headlight mounts (as
per the Thruxton), whilst the rear end sees the addition of a black
pillion grab rail and 'bash' plate. Contemporary black mirrors
complete the new look.
However, it is the red frame and Matt Black and Cranberry Red
colour scheme which really grabs the attention. Not to be outdone,
and with an eye on function and fashion, the Bonneville SE proudly
sports a unique seat design comprising new stitching and vinyl
covering.
The Special Edition Speed Triple is also based on the current
model, powered by Triumph's charismatic 1050cc three cylinder
engine. Boasting a distinctive blue frame and swingarm, the Speed
Triple SE comes in either matt graphite with twin matt blue decals
or crystal white with twin gloss blue decals.
The special edition gets the lightweight treatment with carbon
fibre front mudguard side pods, tank cover panel and inner radiator
panels. Colour-matched fly screen, belly pan and seat cowl
all come as standard, as well as neat finishing details such as a
rubber tank pad and clear rear light. A new styled clutch,
alternator and sprocket cover further enhances its distinctive
makeover.
Finishing the dynamic look are blue wheel pinstripes, while new
black mirrors, silencer heat shields, handlebars and yokes complete
the aesthetics.
Both new machines will be available via the Triumph dealer
network at a date to be confirmed. The Bonneville SE is priced at
just $12,990 available March whilst the Speed Triple SE will retail
at $18,190 arriving late April.
