We’re kicking things off this week with a chic Triumph Street Twin from FCR Original. We’ve also got a BMW R nineT from Gas & Oil, a Yamaha XT600 street tracker, Arai’s new ECE 22.06 approved helmet, and a look inside Thronton Hundred’s workshop.

Triumph Street Twin by FCR Original Thanks to its mag wheels and upswept exhausts, the Street Twin is the least retro-looking motorcycle in Triumph’s range of modern classics. But this custom from the French shop FCR Original has such a classic vibe, we didn’t realize it was a Street Twin until shop boss Sébastien Guillemot told us.

FCR Original have a way with neo-retro Triumphs, so it’s no surprise that this is their work. The biggest hit here is the duck blue paint on the tank?along with the chrome knee indents and period-correct tank badges. The shop has also traded the mudguards for classic alloy units, and swapped out the saddle. The other big change is the wheels: FCR swapped the 18F/17R wheels for a pair of 18? spoked items, using aluminum Morad rims and Dunlop TT100 and K81 tires.

The new rear suspenders are from Shock Factory, and the exhaust mufflers are from FCR’s own catalog of Triumph-specific parts.The build’s finished off with a host of subtle tweaks?like vintage lighting, new turn signals and an FCR plate holder.

The chromed handlebars are from FCR’s shop too, and wear Kustom Tech brake and clutch controls. There’s also a Monza gas cap...
