Every one of Tamarit’s unique builds has a distinct personality of its own.
The custom entity we take a look at today goes by the name of “Rubrica,” a flawless two-wheeled machine brewed under Tamarit Motorcycles’ roof. Ever since the company’s foundation back in 2015, Spain’s beloved moto artists released as many as 81 bespoke undertakings, some of which we’ve featured on our website in the past.

Take, for instance, a classy Triumph Bonneville-based showstopper or a reworked Thruxton 1200 R named “Dakota Iglesias.” It’s quite safe to conclude that Tamarit’s specialists are your go-to guys when seeking to give one of Triumph’s machines a sensational makeover. I just can’t seem to get enough of this workshop’s surreal masterpieces, so let’s take a look at another!

Before arriving on their doorstep, the bike you see here was an undistinguished Thruxton 900 from the British manufacturer’s range. Its air-cooled 865cc parallel-twin engine is capable of producing up to 68 untamed ponies at 7,400 rpm, along with 51 pound-feet (69 Nm) of twist at around 5,800 revs. This oomph travels to a chain final drive via a five-speed transmission.

As soon as this beast rolled into their garage, Elche’s aftermarket doctors wasted no time fabricating a pair of tiny fenders and a two-piece leather saddle in-house, and a new loop-style subframe module with integrated LEDs to hold it all in place. Between the engine and rear wheel, you will find K&N pod filters peeking out behind sculpted side panels.

At the other end of the combustion cycle, Tamarit installed a custom exhaust system from its own inventory. Up front, the team fitted revised forks and a one-off triple clamp, while dual Hagon shocks handle rear suspension duties. Thruxton’s cockpit flaunts a digital Motoscope Mini gauge from Motogadget’s catalog and a set of clip-on handlebars wearing bar-end turn signals.

After fitting a shiny skid plate below the parallel-twin mill, the experts proceeded to chrome-plate the engine covers, handlebars, and fork legs. Finally, Rubrica’s gas tank was enveloped in a sexy midnight blue finish to wrap things up.

A bit of an artist himself, Silvian sees two- and four-wheeled machines as a form of art, especially restomods and custom rides. Oh, and if you come across a cafe racer article on our website, it’s most likely his doing.
