If you like your Triumphs and love a Bobber – this is probably the ultimate bike for you
This is a new Triumph Factory Custom (TFC) and only 750 will be sold around the world. They feature gloss carbon-fibre bodywork bits; two-tone paint, some of which is hand-finished (with the painter’s signature under the tank); and at its heart is a 1200cc motor, tuned and with Akrapovic exhausts. Hmmm, bet that sounds good.
Called the Bonneville Bobber TFC, each bike will have an individually numbered badge on the billet-machined top yoke. The bike features clip-on bars to give a more focussed riding position; a 19-inch front wheel; those slash-cut matt black Akras; as well as Ohlins suspension and Brembo
brakes. This thing weighs much less than the standard Bobber, too…

The Bonneville Bobber TFC uses the beefy 1200cc parallel twin-cylinder motor which pumps out around 78bhp at 6000rpm. A selection of riding modes including a new ‘Sport’ mode is available alongside ‘Road’ and ‘Rain’ modes, as well as traction control.
Such exclusivity isn’t cheap. The bike needs to be reserved for delivery in March and costs a cool £17,195 on the road.
