Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer

Stunning, focused and unapologetically exclusive, the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition captures the rebellious spirit of Britain’s 1960s cafe racer scene and reimagines it with modern Triumph performance and craftsmanship. With a purposeful, nose-down stance defined by low clip-on handlebars and a streamlined single-seat profile, this limited-run model sits proudly at the very top of the Speed Twin range.

Limited to just 800 motorcycles worldwide, each example comes supplied with its own Certificate of Authenticity, underlining the collectability and prestige of this special edition. Based on the Speed Twin 1200 RS, the Cafe Racer Edition sharpens the experience with a more committed riding position, pillion pegs removed as standard, and a beautifully finished brown bullet seat with removable cowl for a pure, classic silhouette.

At its heart lies Triumph’s high-compression Bonneville 1200 parallel-twin, delivering a thrilling 105 PS at 7,750 rpm and a muscular 112 Nm of torque. The distinctive 270-degree firing order and low-inertia crankshaft provide instant throttle response and rich character, pulling hard through the rev range all the way to its 8,000 rpm limit. It’s an engine that blends modern performance with unmistakable heritage feel.

Handling and control are equally premium. Fully adjustable Marzocchi front forks are paired with Öhlins rear suspension, offering precision feedback and confidence on fast roads. Braking is handled by twin 320 mm discs with Brembo Stylema calipers, delivering powerful, progressive stopping performance, while Metzeler Racetec RR K3 tyres ensure exceptional grip and feel.

Visually, the Cafe Racer Edition is pure art in motion. The exclusive Competition Green and Aluminium Silver paint scheme is inspired by British racing heritage, elevated by a finely applied Empire Gold coachline and Cafe Racer Edition tank graphics. Aluminium Silver wheels, a colour-coded Competition Green headlight bowl, brushed aluminium mudguards, sculpted knee pads and subtle black detailing complete a look that feels timeless, athletic and meticulously finished.

Modern technology is seamlessly integrated without disturbing the classic aesthetic. Road, Rain and Sport riding modes, Optimised Cornering ABS, Traction Control and Triumph Shift Assist all work discreetly in the background. A combined LCD and TFT display sits within a traditional circular dial, offering navigation and phone connectivity alongside a neatly integrated USB-C charging socket.

Exclusive, beautifully detailed and engineered for riders who value style as much as performance, the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition is a rare opportunity to own a modern interpretation of a true British icon. This is cafe racer heritage—refined, sharpened and unmistakably Triumph.
