After exactly two hundred editions of Bikes of the Week, we?re retiring the format and switching things up a little. Our new weekend roundup is called Speed Read, and we?ll be featuring news snippets as well as a steady stream of custom bikes.
That doesn?t mean we?ll be featuring 200 hp sportbikes, but we will be showing a few more classics, reporting on interesting new gear, and keeping you abreast of upcoming events and shows. Let us know what you think?and drop us a line if you spot anything interesting that you reckon we should cover.

Triumph Bonneville Build-Off Challenge 2020 In its homeland, Triumph has set off down the path of the dealer build-off for the second time. Last year, the competition was centered on custom Bobbers; this year, nine dealers have modified the evergreen Bonneville.
The results are a lot more consistent than most competitions of this ilk, with the dealers showing equal measures of style and restraint. (We’re especially taken with the ‘Speed Racer’ above from Edinburgh Triumph, complete with modified Daytona fairing.) And Triumph has paid for decent photography rather than relying on a random ragbag of images supplied by the entrants.
Winners will be judged by the public, with voting open until 14 October 2020. Head over to the Build-Off microsite to explore the bikes in more detail and have your say.
