I wonder if anyone at Triumph knows which year it'll be before they've finally run out of those crappy silver coloured levers?

Isn't that why D6 keeps going to the States? To bring back another plane full?

The cynic in me hopes they'll be limited to just the three bikes in the pics.


All apparently come equipped with a darkened visor for your lid, so that no-one will recognize you if you ride one.

50 of each.

I quite like the gold one. I must admit it's not my usual thing.

Yeah....I have to admit that I'm warming to it myself....it's the flag thingy that puts me off.....just looks a bit tacky to me.

The rest of the gold makes it look a bit 'Nortonesque'.......'cept that these things will actually work.

I do agree the union flag looks a bit tacky. It would have to be the R version for me.

Is it just limited due to the colour schemes or have they done something useful and put some 'limited' quality bling/components on it too?

It obviously works because they sell, but I'd never buy a limited release that is based purely on a colour scheme. That doesn't make a difference to my ride, but trick components that are better than standard bike spec does.

Yup.....JPS cigarettes taught me as much also.

Plus one of my fave toy cars is an old JPS F1 thing I got for my 7th birthday from my Auntie Audrey. I still have it in it's orig. box. It's frickin' awesomeness beyond belief. Seriously.
