He describes his Street Triple as a ?lightweight race-inspired build, paying homage to the endurance racers of the 70s and 80s.? And there?s an additional fillip in the paint scheme, inspired by the slinky Porsche 908 racecars from the late 60s.

Instead, he?s treated the bike to a complete new exhaust system, a BMC air filter, and a remap to extract the maximum from both. The facto...
