Italians take a shine to the Bonnie

Italian firm Roadracing, which specialises in beautifully crafted aluminium panels, has created a set of extras to turn Triumph’s Bonneville into something that to attract attention wherever it goes.

The kit includes a bigger fuel tank, a seat unit and pillion seat cover, side panels, mudguards and a bikini fairing. The result is a bike that looks like it’s come straight off a 1950s race track. Hand-built parts like these don’t come cheap; the full kit will set you back £3400. If that’s a bit much, Roadracing’s UK importer, Triumph dealer Jack Lilley, sells the parts separately. For instance, that fuel tank costs £1200.
