With nearly 150 completed projects under its belt, Tamarit Motorcycles is a workshop that needs no introduction whatsoever. Their custom Triumphs have garnered attention far and wide, making countless appearances on the autoevolution pages along the way. The Brat-style gem pictured below was built with a Bonneville T120 as the basis, and it now calls itself the Coffee Snob.
After a customary teardown, Triumph’s modern classic saw its subframe tweaked and topped with a brown leather saddle that looks the part. It’s flanked by handmade side covers, and a new rear fender can be spotted at the back complete with a Bates-style LED taillight and an off-the-shelf license plate holder. Aftermarket turn signals hang off the latter, while a small Tamarit badge is attached to the back of the seat.

Rear-end suspension duties are managed by adjustable shock absorbers from Hagon’s range, but the original T120 forks have been retained. They now wear external spring add-ons for visual effect, and the Spanish experts also fitted a custom fender in between the tubes. Further up, one may find a state-of-the-art gyroscopic LED headlight, whose adaptive technology adjusts the beam as you turn.

In the Bonneville’s cockpit, Tamarit installed a Motogadget speedo, Kustom Tech control levers, and minimalistic switches, as well as bar-end mirrors and blinkers. Motogadget supplied a keyless ignition setup, too, and all the electronics are hooked up to the same brand’s Bluetooth-compatible mo.Unit controller. The stock fuel tank is still present, but it’s been stripped of its knee pads and embellished with Tamarit badges.

Peek lower down, and you’ll come across a sizeable sump guard from the firm’s proprietary catalog of aftermarket goodies. Things are pretty succulent on unsprung territory, as well, with dual-purpose tires adding a pinch of scrambler flair to the Coffee Snob. The front brake was thoroughly upgraded, receiving a premium pair of floating discs and higher-spec calipers.

Just like many of the other builds from Tamarit, this Brat-style T120 comes with emblems depicting its nickname on the engine covers. The parallel-twin mill remains unchanged internally, but it now inhales through Free Spirit air filters placed on a forward-facing intake manifold. At the other end of the combustion sequence, there is a dual Zard exhaust system said to offer one hell of a soundtrack. The last thing for us to talk about is the color scheme.

On its fuel tank, fenders, and side covers, the Coffee Snob wears a deep blue finish along with white accents here and there. This livery is a perfect match for the brown saddle, and it’s joined by an abundance of chrome plating on items like the engine covers, sump guard, and forks. Once again, Tamarit’s bike-modding connoisseurs knocked it out of the ballpark!
