Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR Breitling Edition
Triumph has released a special limited edition Speed Triple 1200 RR in association with top Swiss watch maker Breitling.
Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR Breitling Edition
The new bike is based on the firm’s flagship sporty roadster, the Speed Triple 1200, in 178bhp faired RR form. It’s a high-end machine even as stock of course, with Öhlins electronic suspension, Brembo Stylema brake calipers, full electronic riding aids package, single-sided rear swingarm and aluminium twin-spar frame.

But the Breitling edition – limited to just 270 bikes – adds even more luxury, in the form of a super-posh paint scheme with gold hand-painted details, a real leather seat with French stitching, a bespoke Akrapovic silencer, and a host of lightweight carbon fibre bodywork parts.

The Breitling tie-in also means a special customised startup screen on the full colour TFT LCD dash, a Breitling logo on the rear wheel finisher and a gold Breitling tank badge.
