A Racer Style

When the year just started, someone from Elda, a village from Alicante very close to our headquarters located in Elche, contacted us. He owned a Bonneville T120 matte graphite and wanted to give his motorcycle a twist, but he wasn’t very sure about the concept. He loved the Cafe Racer idea, but the comfort, which was a must for him, made him hesitate. Honestly, that is an easy choice for no one, because when you have a Cafe Racer you want an Scrambler, and vice versa.

Tamarit Motorcycles already had a wide experience with works based on a Bonneville T120, we had presented parts for that model several times and we felt very comfortable transforming the Bonneville into a Cafe Racer.

2 bikes in 1

The client kept on hesitating about the style of the motorcycle, so we proposed to do 2 motorcycles in 1. Because of the “Plug and Play” procedure of the Triumph Tamarit parts, we thought that we could show 2 different concepts based on the same motorcycle: A Cafe Racer and a Brat Style.

A few days after, the owner of the Bonneville T120, brought the motorcycle to our workshop to begin with the project. In this case it would be 2 in 1, that’s why we name this makeover Yunque I and Yunque II.

The Yunque II parts were pretty developed by then, except the fork guards, which were installed without the front fender. Regarding the color, Emilio wanted something sober, and after a few sketches we opted for an anthracite matte gray, black and lighter gray, something really sober and elegant.

Every Cafe Racer should have clip ons or a clubman handlebar, so in this case we opted for the later, even being aware of the lack of comfort that the driving would have rather than driving with a stock one. But it was something necessary to preserve the Cafe Racer standards. Regarding the front fairing, it wasn't an easy ride, countless hours shaping the fiber until we got the desired results. Once believed to be finished, a new idea would pop up, for example including our grill and we had to go back to square one. Nevertheless we are more than proud with the results obtained.

Ready to roll

The color was a considerable success as well as the choice of the design featuring a long matte black line going from the bucket to the back of the seat.

We decided to make a time-lapsed promotional video, in order to watch the makeover process from one concept to another with only 5 parts used. The time to introduce the Triumph motorcycle finally came and we decided to show it with the Cafe Racer kit, since the urban concept was previously shown on the bonneville motorcycle aliased Muralla.
