This new Triumph Bonneville café racer comes from German custom parts and accessories specialists, LSL. Called the Bonneville ‘Tridays’ limited edition, it’s based on the 2010 Bonneville model with alloy wheels, a Remus exhaust, YSS shock absorbers, racing seat and alloy mudguards.
The Bonneville café racer has been custom built to celebrate the Tridays Triumph motorcycle festival held every year in Neukirchen, Austria. This year the event will take place from June 25-27, although if you’re planning on going, you’ll have to look for ‘Newchurch’ instead, as the town changes its name to the English version during the event.
LSL will build 20 units of the Bonneville Tridays at a cost of about 12,950 euros. You get a package trip to Tridays as part of the purchase. For more information, see the LSL website, or go to Tridays.com.

Here’s another Triumph cafe racer special, this time in the form of a Bonneville cafe racer from Fabio in Italy. It’s unusual to see this kind of bike in Italy, as the Italians generally go for scooters or sports bikes and nothing in between. In fact, our colleagues are saying it could be an age thing or the desire to have a bike that’s different to all the others on the roads, but these kind of Triumph cafe racers are becoming more appealing (although this one is perhaps a little less refined than other examples we’ve seen).

The bike is equipped with a 904cc engine, 595 forks and a handmade alloy fuel tank holding just seven litres of fuel. It also has 19-inch dirt track wheels and recently won the Triumph of the Year at the Ace Cafe.

Two brands, Triumph and TAG Heuer have teamed up to create this special Bonneville Heuer motorcyle.
It’s distinctive blue and orange livery on the Bonneville was inspired by the Gulf Porsche 917 driven by the one and only, King of Cool, Steve McQueen in the 1971 movie Le Mans, which in turn inspired TAG Heuer’s 40th anniversary Monaco watch.
This special Bonneville Heuer was presented in Paris, in the presence of Lewis Hamilton, 2008 Formula One World Champion and other TAG Heuer testimonials.

A very impressive promotional video by Triumph that will probably appeal even to people who don’t ride motorcycles. It’s mix between a bike and sports ad with some good old movie clips thrown in.
Marlon Brand in The Wild One on his own personal Triumph Thunderbird, Richard Gere on a Triumph Bonneville in An Officer and A Gentleman, Steve McQueen in the Great Escape, Patrick Swayze in Point Break, Lenny Kravitz and some winning sports stars and Coldplay’s Viva la Vida used as soundtrack.
