Motorcycle specifications Triumph1200 Speedmaster édition Chrome 2023 A piece of esteem

Here's a bike for cruising with phlegm, class, torque tasting and dye decoction. The Speedmaster defends English-style custom, while its alter ''Chrome'' adds an extra touch of distinction. Whatever you do, eyes can only point in one direction. The top, the chest, between the shoulders.

Triumph has done what it takes to tank the eyes above the engine. This Bonneville (for it is one, seriously adapted to change category) converses almost exclusively with black and grey, metal and night, the support of a certain bourgeoisie... until its tank explodes in the retina. The "Chrome" collection is an ode to the container.

It' s just that, and it's superbly all-encompassing. A great deal of handwork and a delicate combination of ornaments lend a strong visual character to the Speedmaster presented here. Drenched in blood-red, the tank is then scalped with a large tongue of chrome. What an effect! The craftsman in charge of this decoration spends a lot of time on it.

From the bare shape to the protective top coat, 5 hours pass! A good part of the day is spent polishing, priming, checking, sanding, painting and chroming the backbone tank. It's just a simple fuel tank. But its shape has long been much more than that on a motorcycle. And in the field of customization, it's one of the most elaborate elements.

this is also the case for all the "Chrome" models that Triumph will be marketing in 2023. Only in 2023. Since the "Gold Line", collections have only lasted one year at Hinckley, in order to claim rarity. The Chrome costs 800 euros more than the standard Speedmaster. Exactly the same difference as with the Gold Line.

But let 's not forget the heart of the machine. A beautiful 270° parallel twin, offering some 78 hp at 6,100 rpm and just over 10 mkg at just 4,000 rpm. Suffice it to say that the power comes on early, with no need to work the beast.
Wide handlebars, light weight..., a certain amount of on-board electronics (dual ride mode, traction control, cruise control, ABS, 100% LED lighting, Ride-by-wire throttle, anti-theft transponder), Brembo brakes, a low seat height of 70 cm, a big Showa fork, a streamlined speedo - the Triumph cultivates its American image and European performance. With a dazzling patina to boot.
