Custom Bikes Of The Week: 10 March, 2019
There’s something for everyone this week. We’ve got a Bonneville beach cruiser, a pair of high-performance Triumph Speed Triples, and a Ducati Panigale covered in occult symbols. Plus a trio of electric bikes?an old Enfield that traveled the entire length of Britain, and two new concepts designed by Erik Buell. (Yes, he’s back.)
Triumph Speed Triples by Associated British Motorcycles Tony Scott’s the guy behind the top tuning operation T3 Performance?so he knows how to extract maximum performance out of a machine. These two Speed Triples, the Gemini Naked and Gemini Indianapolis, are the first customs from T3’s new sister brand, Associated British Motorcycles. And they both put a colossal 160 horsepower to the rear wheel. The Naked (above) is the more ‘cafe’ of the two, with minimal carbon fiber bodywork, and Öhlins and Maxton suspension. It also features HEL brakes, a keyless ignition, and Dymag carbon wheels.
The Indianapolis has a more upright stance, with flat track-inspired lines. Both Geminis have the same tank and belly pan, but the Indy has a number board and a different tail section. And it comes with tubeless Kineo wheels.
ABM will be producing the Gemini in limited numbers?just 50, with customization options like paint and finishing kit. Customers have a choice of ordering a complete bike, or supplying their own donor. It’s a cracking first project for the company, and we’re keen to see what they’...
