This lovely special edition Triumph Speed Triple has been custom built by some of the guys on the “Triumph che passione” Italian forum. They’ve named it “Speed Web” and it has been entirely constructed from parts and accessories purchased via the net, and then assembled by the owner “Japkiller” and another forum user, “Gamberetto”.

We’re very impressed with the effort. The Triumph Speed Web has hydraulic clutch and special disc brakes, Ohlins sports shock absorber and rear Lavizzari exhaust, giving this particular Triumph a lovely sound. The modifications take the bike to 121.6 hp and 105 Nm.

While Triumph purists will balk at the missing front twin headlamp, replaced by a small Mt-03, the white and blue colour combo is quite stunning, and other small features include rear LED lights and a number plate mounted around the rear wheel with a nicely made special frame. Overall, we offer our compliments on a job well done!

You’ve probably seen at least one of these two 2006 Ferrari Chopper by Exotic Custom Choppers Inc., featured in motorcycle magazines or showcased in bike shows, it was also proudly on display at this year’s 24hrs of Daytona.

It’s owner Darcy Jovic, recently decided to part with the number two bike is fitted with a Yamaha R1 engine and auctioned it off on ebay fetching $39,495.

We don’t known where the number one bike is, but we do know that it sports a 140 hp engine from a Triumph 955 Triple and maybe Luca Cordero di Montezemolo has it hidden away in his garage at Maranello.

Take a look at the Ferrari chopper in action after the jump.

This special edition Triump Speed Triple Brown Racer comes from France, showing off an unusual but not unattractive colour. In addition to the bronze tone, a couple of features in gold are included, giving it a vintage touch. We think it looks more like a piece of furniture - kind of an armchair or bedside table that goes at 200 km/hr.

The Triump Speed Triple has an angry history in the naked sector, in fact it virtually invented the cool agression of this kind of bike. It has always pushed for stronger lines with its two front headlights, and created a must with the rear swing arm.

The formidable British naked Speed Triple has sold more than 34,000 units since 1994, the year of its presentation. And now, to celebrate 15 years of the bike, owner of Triumph John Bloor has signed the tank of the next edition to laugh a little at the rigour this bike has shown in its long career.

This version of the Speed Triple (in the gallery) has an exclusive Metallic Phantom Black colour with red finishings and other hand-made touches. And to let you know you’re getting something special, an exclusive watch accompanies the purchase of the Speed Triple 2009. It could be a long wait for your Christmas present as the Speed Triple will appear in dealerships from February 2009 at a cost of 12,400 euros.

While we’re all het up about Triumph’s new 2009 models, Hell for Leather Magazine has decided to take a look at just why we’re getting excited. Examining the 2008 Triumph Speed Triple, the guys say:

“It’s an extremely thorough lesson in how to create a handsome, timeless, class-defying design.

You’ve only got to check out the brakes to understand why this is:

“That attention to detail is carried through even to its brakes, which mount the disc carriers directly to the spokes instead of the hub. Think of this as a halfway house between Buell-style rim mounted brakes and traditional mounting methods. Benefits include easier disc changes, increased rigidity, more direct transfer of braking forces and super sex appeal.”

Hail Triumph, then, and we hope to see plenty of this sex appeal on the new 2009 models.
