The Appeal

The unquestionable king of classically styled retro sports bikes. Triumph has always been ahead of the game on that front, combining modern performance with styling that ties back to the glory days of British motorcycling with a wonderful modern flair. Leading the pack on the Triumph forecourt at present is the excellent Speed Twin 1200, a nod to the legendary Bonneville with greatly improved handling and performance. But what if you’re looking for a bit more exclusivity with your bike?

Strictly limited to 270 bikes (with only 36 available to the UK market) marking the wonderful partnership between two iconic brands at the top of their respective fields. The number of units is a homage to the 270 degree crankshaft fitted to the bike.

The Triumph Speed Twin Breitling special edition is a very impressive and undeniably exclusive bike, as you couldn't just get it from a dealership as usual as this edition wasn't released to them, the new owners were selected through a raffle via phone and email to get the chance of purchasing one!

This one, number 106 of 270 comes to market in brand new, unused form making it that little bit more special. If you’re a lover of rare, high quality British motorcycles, this certainly isn't one to miss.
