The Speed Triple that Stan van Ijzerdoorn from the Netherlands used as a base bike for his build, is 2005 model 1050 Speed Triple.

Another one We see a great number of modified and customised Triumphs in our mailbox and to be honest, we really can’t get enough of them. As we see more Triumph builds, our expectations unintentionally increase to new heights. When we first received the pictures of the Triumph Speed Triple we […]

Sometimes you come across bikes that just put the hook in you. Christian Forward’s 1994 Triumph Trident is definitely one of those builds that brings out the greed in me. Everything inside me screams “I want it!’. I can hardly imagine anyone disagreeing with me after perusing the pictures. This bike […]

It has been quite a while since Triumph Motorcycles announced the introduction of the Bobber Black and the all-new Speedmaster. It is all very nice to receive warming news like this during winter, but the wait until you can actually ride the bikes is long. A little while ago we got […]

Not so long ago we wrote about the German Schenk family who builds awesome custom bikes, with a special focus on BMW and Triumph (check out the article here). Well, they were at it again! Once more they have managed to surprise us with an impressive rebuild of a Triumph Thruxton. […]

Just a tiny distance from the Eastern border of the Netherlands you will find the German village of Rheda-Wiedenbrück.

Headed by father Rainer (referred to as ‘Boss’) he and his […]

The apple does not fall far from the tree We recently came across 29-year-old Anton Knutsson From Sweden on Instagram. This being his primary communication channel for the bikes he produces under his company name ‘Injustice Customs’. The bike that caught our attention was quite a stunner and within the hour […]

Just some eye candy for a bit of a lazy start of the week: a beautiful 2008 Triumph Speed Triple Cafe Racer built by Badass Factory.

[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhg_IhExBFc” width=”740″] Video by Donker Licht. Unleashing the BEAST! In a recent post on Facebook, I joyfully exclaimed: “FINALLY! I get to test the Triumph Thruxton Supercharger, based on a T120 R”. More than six months of waiting in excitement was about to erupt when we received a call from the […]

Just some eye-candy, but I needed to share this shiny Triumph Thruxton R with you. It’s built by AMR Vittel for Triumph France.

Straight from our southern neighbors in Belgium: an incredible Triumph Speed Triple Custom. The guys from Motokouture turned their hands on this 1050cc triple monster and turned into into something that looks a lot like dark art. Owner Steven Decaluwe started back in 2007 and has, next to his leather business, […]

Husband/wife Max and Erica of Droog Moto quickly made fame with their custom motorcycles. They’ve opened up their shop last year and delivered a handful of machines with post-apocalyptic looks which are best to be labeled as scramblers. It all started with this Honda CM400. But they don’t focus on one specific brand or type. […]
