Triumph Motorcycles' latest special edition motorcycle celebrates the brand's connection to cinema's longest-running series - BOND. But, unfortunately for Kiwi Triumph and Bond fans the Speed Triple RR Bond Edition won't be heading to Kiwi shores.
The Speed Triple RR Bond Edition is the firm's third Bond-themed special since the Scrambler 1200 Bond Edition and Tiger 900 Bond Editions which both sold out.
Built to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Bond franchise, just 60 examples of the Speed Triple RR Bond Edition will be made. That's exclusive enough for even Mr Bond himself.
The Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition builds on the incredible partnership between these two iconic British brands, which began with No Time To Die, where Triumph’s Tiger 900 and Scrambler 1200 featured in key action sequences.
So what makes the Bond Edition Speed Triple RR special you ask?
Kicking things off is a sophisticated three-colour scheme in Black, Granite Grey and Storm Grey with the official “60 Years of Bond” commemorative logo on the tank sides.
All 25 James Bond movies, in their original title fonts, are present in the striking Bond Edition tank top design, including the latest film, No Time To Die, that marked the beginning of Triumph’s role as the official motorcycle partner of Bond.
The cockpit comes with a stunning and distinctive gun barrel design, reminiscent of probably the most iconic film opening sequence of all time and, adding extra desirability, the hand-painted gold lining across the cockpit and rear tail unit completes the beautiful and unique design of the Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition.
The stealthy look of the new Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition is complemented by the premium custom-made gold logos, which feature across the motorcycle, matching the gold of the Öhlins front forks. The Triumph triangle badge on the tank also stands apart thanks to its unique gold detailing, also featured on the Speed Triple 1200 RR logo on the side fairing.
Strictly limited to only 60 worldwide, each Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition is individually numbered from 1 to 60 on a dedicated new handlebar clamp badge, which also features official James Bond branding.
Adding a further element of exclusivity, and helping to protect the bike in true James Bond style, each limited-edition RR will come complete with a custom 007™ indoor bike cover, featuring custom James Bond design detailing.
To protect these bikes as investments (which let's face it, they will be) each of the sixty motorcycles will also come with a unique certificate of authenticity, hand-signed by Triumph’s CEO, Nick Bloor.
The Speed Triple RR Bond Edition looks the part for sure, it's just a shame that none are heading our way. At least in an official capacity.
