Description
Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2015 Triumph Bonneville T100. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
With an update for its 50th anniversary 2009, Triumph gave the Bonneville a lovely blend of modern and retro – it introduced Keihin fuel injection but kept the look of carbs feeding the 865cc parallel twin engine. Triumph claimed 67 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 51 lb-ft at 5,800 rpm. Between the classic style and the approachable drivetrain, the fuel-injected Bonnie became a popular platform for customization.
The bike you see before you was built by British Customs for pro surfer Chippa Wilson. Per the build sheet, he wanted a bike that “he could chase adventures on as well as take for long, easy cruises. Inspired by Steve McQueen, the King of Cool, and his 1960s proto-adventure bikes he called ‘desert sleds,’ which were street bikes that had been modified to be ridden off-road. In the spirit of how those bikes were built, the Beach Sled uses only bolt-on parts and common tools. The result is what you see: a completely transformed custom motorcycle ready to be taken anywhere. This is the second version of the original Beach Sled, with slight changes such as paint and luggage.”
