Two customs from Spain this week: a crisp and understated Thruxton RS from Tamarit, and a repurposed Ducati 750 SS from Bolt. We also take a closer look at a stunning new electric racebike from the Netherlands, and report on a rare motorcycle festival that managed to go ahead as planned ? in Russia.
Triumph Thruxton RS by Tamarit Tamarit have always had a keen eye for style, and this beautifully restrained Thruxton continues that tradition. It?s a current-spec RS model?the only Thruxton variant Triumph still sells?with a raft of subtle upgrades that lift the bike from good to great.
The specs of the stock bike are good, with 105 horsepower, Brembo M50 stoppers, top of the range Metzeler rubber and a kerb weight of 197 kg. So the Alicante, Spain workshop has focused on the aesthetics, with a striking new seat and tail unit and a discreet front fender.
New side covers permit a ram-air induction setup, which is matched to a complete new Zard exhaust system. Keen eyes will also spot the relocated instrument cluster and a JW Speaker LED headlight, plus Rizoma fluid reservoirs, and finned engine covers. Kineo wheels reduce weight, a steering damper keeps the front end tight, and there are new grips and bar-end indicators from Motogadget.
The RS is finished off in Porsche?s Crayon Grey paint, which is rapidly replacing Audi?s Nardo Grey as the flat color du jour for cars. And it looks just as good on the Triumph as it does on a 911. [Tamarit | Source]
