Triumph builds a Barbour Bonneville custom
Barbour International and Triumph have collaborated to create a one-off custom motorcycle. Called the BIT1 Street Tracker, it’s based on the Bonneville.
To help achieve a totally stripped-down look the bike’s mudguards, battery box, rear subframe and pillion foot pegs have all been ditched. Changes have been made to the frame too, plus a unique saddle from Redmax Speedshop is fitted.
This isn’t just a cosmetic exercise, though. For instance, the parallel-twin engine features Keihin 36 mm carburettors instead of the usual fuel injection, and its exhaust gases exit via shortened slash-cut pipes.
Finishing off the modifications is a completely revamped suspension set-up. At the front is a Street Triple R fork, while the rear end gains K-Tech Razor components.
One of the BIT1 Street Tracker’s key roles is to highlight the launch of a Triumph Barbour clothing collection. Comprising both leisurewear and protective riding gear, it’ll be available to buy from August onwards.
