Special editions; we love ?em don?t we" Well Triumph seems to think we do. Because whether their bikes are selling like hot cakes, or gathering dust in their dealerships, they can?t help themselves sprinkling a modicum of fairy dust on (almost) all of their models, in an effort to prise the hard-earned cash out of our fists, wallets or bank accounts.

Street Twin EC1

No, it doesn?t come with a free hammer and/or battery powered angle grinder; it?s not that part of London?s motorcycle culture. I think they are talking about places like Shoreditch, Islington and that kind of thing. Places where it?s dead fashionable to have a full sleave of tattoos, drink overpriced craft beers and fiddle with the ends of your waxed moustache.
It?s got all the tech that the standard street twin has, plus new paint job that any hipster ought to be proud of. It?s matt silver, with matching side panels and mudguards, and some very trick ?limited edition? graphics too.
