2019 Triumph Speed Twin Images Leaked

Leaked photos from Triumph Motorcycles' global dealer conference reveal a soon-to-be-unveiled model, the 2019 Triumph Speed Twin, based on the Triumph Bonneville T120. The photos reveal a modern classic similar in design to the Triumph Street Twin, and like the smaller 900 cc model, the Speed Twin runs on cast wheels, and will be the first model in the Bonneville 1200 family not to sport wire-spoke wheels. With growing popularity of the Triumph modern classic range, it's but obvious that one more addition in the same family will extend the range with more options for the customer.

Now, Triumph has already unveiled the new Scrambler 1200 in London, but there's still no word of the Speed Twin. We expect the 2019 Triumph Speed Twin to be unveiled in next month's EICMA show in Milan. As mentioned earlier, and confirmed in the leaked images, design-wise, the Speed Twin will have similar styling as the smaller Street Twin, but with the more powerful Bonneville 1200 cc parallel-twin engine. Unlike the Scrambler 1200 though, the Speed Twin is expected to share the "high torque" 1200 cc engine of the Bonneville T120, which puts out 79 bhp at 6550 rpm and 105 Nm at 3100 rpm.

The Speed Twin is certainly expected to make it to India. We estimate the new model to be launched in India sometime in the first half of 2019, after the global unveil at EICMA and subsequent launch. In fact, last month, a filing with the California Air Resources Bureau (CARB) also confirmed the new model to be the Speed Twin, the latest addition to Triumph's 1200 cc modern classic range. More details will likely be revealed once the bike is unveiled at the EICMA show in Milan.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
