2014 INTERMOT: Triumph unveils Bonneville special editions

Updates to all the three special edition bikes are cosmetic and symbolic, with the T214 and Spirit Special based on the Bonneville T100 platform and the Newchurch based on the standard-issue Bonneville.

T214 Land Speed Limited Edition

The T214 Land Speed Limited Edition is a celebration of Johnny Allen’s record-setting run at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1956. Allen ran a Triumph Thunderbird 650-powered streamliner called the Texas Cee-Gar at the flats that year to set a record of 214.4 mph.

The Bonneville T214 gets a special paint scheme featuring a blue and white tank, a blue front mudguard with the white star motif reminiscent of the one on Allen’s bike. The wheels, handlebars and rear suspension springs have been blacked out. There will only be 1000 T214s produced worldwide.

Spirit Special

The Spirit Special is designed to “celebrate the spirit of customization.” It’s done in a Spirit Blue/New England White dual tone paint scheme. Blacked out handlebars, mirror housings, engine covers, wheels and hubs contrast the paint scheme of the tank and mudguards, and match the black headlight sourced from a Triumph Scrambler.

Newchurch

The Newchurch edition is a tribute, designed to celebrate the annual Tridays festival in Austria, a yearly event which is one of the biggest gatherings of Triumph fans and owners in the world. During the event, the town of Neukirchen goes by the name of Newchurch and hosts British bands, food and other entertainment while celebrating all things Triumph.

The Newchurch Bonneville is available in two different hand-painted colorways: Cranberry Red/Pure White or a Sapphire Blue/Pure White. It comes with blacked out mudguards, headlamp bowl, handlebars and mirrors.

The special edition Bonnevilles will be manufactured only for a limited number of motorcycles and Triumph may not bring in these special edition bikes to India.
