We’ll always be intrigued when coming across one of Tamarit’s spectacular beauties.
The Spanish aftermarket artists over at Tamarit Motorcycles are the real MVPs when it comes down to modifying Triumph machines. We checked out the workshop’s range on several occasions in the past to admire some of the sexiest creatures bred on their premises, such as a magnificent Bonneville-based entity and a reworked Thruxton going by the name of “Dakota Iglesias,” to name but a couple.

The undertaking we're looking at today is based on a 2017 Triumph Thruxton 1200 R. Within its tubular steel cradle frame, the donor carries a liquid-cooled parallel-twin fiend boasting an astronomical displacement of 1,200cc. This engine supplies 96 wild ponies at 6,750 rpm and 83 pound-feet (112 Nm) of twist at 4,950 revs. A six-speed transmission hands this feral oomph to a chain final drive, enabling Triumph’s beast to reach a top speed of 135 mph (217 kph).

Tamarit kicked the transformation off by replacing the bike’s standard bodywork with an assortment of bolt-on alternatives from its own inventory, including a cafe racer-style tail section, a single-seater leather saddle, as well as custom side panels, a vintage front fairing, and one sinister belly pan. A laser-cut chain guard and fresh engine covers have also been installed to round out the cosmetic pizzazz.

Additionally, the original turn signals have been discarded to make room for m-Blaze LED items from Motogadget’s range. You will spot a pair of laced hoops that hail from Kineo, while Free Spirits’ catalog has been consulted to obtain high-flow air filters.

Speaking of powertrain modifications, the 1,200cc parallel-twin colossus was treated to a bespoke two-into-two exhaust system, topped with Tamarit’s very own Bocanegra mufflers. Finally, the unique piece of mechanical artwork you see here has been dubbed “Malasangre.”

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.
