Speed Read: The Breitling x Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR and more
Another week, another limited edition from a major OEM. This time, it’s Triumph teaming up with Breitling on a special Speed Triple 1200 RR with a matching watch. We also have a BMW R850RT from Spain, a new flat track prototype based on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, and a rare Honda Monkey Baja Africa that’s just gone up for sale.
Breitling x Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR It seems like Ducati and Triumph are locked in a ping-pong match, taking turns at delivering special edition motorcycles at a rate of knots. The latest volley comes from the British marque, and it’s a real humdinger.
This particular collaboration sees Triumph partner with the luxury Swiss watchmaker Breitling, to release a limited edition of one of my favorite motorcycles?the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR. Limited to 270 units worldwide, this version of the Speed Triple 1200 RR sports Breitling branding, a handful of tasty bits, and a special livery. Breitling’s contribution is a matching version of their Chronomat wristwatch; sold separately, of course.
In stock form, the Speed Triple 1200 RR is one heck of a motorcycle. It takes the Speed Triple’s peachy 177 hp triple-cylinder mill and partners it with electronically controlled semi-active suspension from Öhlins. Packaged as a retro sportbike-slash-café racer, it goes even better than it looks, offering magic carpet ride levels of maneuverability.
The Speed Triple 1200 RR is normally available in either red or white...
