You could narrow your coupe and turn it into a really long bike?

You hit the jackpot. So much love for the chunky treads.

I love those early BMWs, but the yellow Yamaha and the raw Honda are awesome.

And that maroon Triumph!

EXCLUSIVE Here’s the most exciting new motorcycle concept we’ve seen in a while—and it doesn’t come from an in-house design studio. It’s the work of two young English designers, Roy Norton and Tom Kasher, in a collaboration with Triumph Motorcycles and Barbour Outdoor Clothing. The base platform is the Triumph Bonneville, heavily restyled and fitted with girder forks.


the idea for the Speed Twin started when Norton and Kasher were in their final term at university. They started sketching ideas for a “a bike taking retro themes in a modern direction”. After landing a placement with motorcycle design studio Xenophya, the pair contacted Triumph. Product Manager Simon Warburton liked what he heard, and agreed to get involved. He wrote a brief requesting a modern re-interpretation of a classic theme: “A bike based around our 865cc air-cooled parallel twin, styled to appeal to younger riders.” Warburton wanted to see “the bike the Bonneville might have evolved into, in an alternative universe”.

Woahhh

That's awesome. It's like a street fighter version of the Bonneville.

I had always thought 550 were the biggest that looked 'right' in cafe clothes but cot DANG that looks perfect.

DAMN!

I'd like it with inverted forks!

At first I thought they were big wheelie bars.
