Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition Revealed: Limited-Edition Neo-Retro Stunner

News Story

Triumph has unveiled the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition, a limited-run neo-retro motorcycle limited to just 800 units worldwide, channeling classic 1960s cafe racer vibes on the modern Speed Twin 1200 RS platform. This special edition swaps standard bars for clip-ons, adds a color-matched headlight cowl, and a quilted tan leather seat, all finished in a striking green/silver dual-tone paint scheme—complete with a certificate of authenticity for each owner. It revives the spirit of the discontinued Thruxton 1200 while packing identical high-end hardware.

Key Specs
The bike retains the liquid-cooled 1200cc parallel-twin engine from the Speed Twin 1200 RS, delivering 105hp at 7750rpm and 112Nm at 4250rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a rare bidirectional quickshifter in Triumph’s classic lineup. Suspension features fully adjustable Ohlins units, braking is handled by Brembo monobloc calipers with dual-channel ABS, and it rolls on sticky Metzeler Racetec RR K3 tires. Electronics include riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain), optimized cornering ABS/traction control, and LED lighting.
