Missed the opportunity to grab one of those awesome Norton V4 RR superbikes? Don’t worry, here are some other cool British sportbikes you can spend your money on. Meet Spirit’s new 750-triples, which are oozing performance and style.
Spirit’s new bikes will be powered by the same triple engine and will be offered in four versions. They got unveiled at The Bike Show, taking the names of GP-Sport and GP-Street, while the higher spec ones are called GP-Sport R and GP-Street R.

"These exciting new road & track bikes feature a first from a British manufacturer - a Grand Prix-inspired fully adjustable chassis, from headstock to swingarm,” said the company. “Coupled to a tuned 750cc 3-cylinder engine, lightweight carbon fiber monocoque bodywork, top quality equipment & running gear and cutting edge, F1-style electronics, these bikes will redefine the phrase British Performance Motorcycle."

The R models will feature a tuned 749 cc engine that will crank 180 hp, while the standard models will provide 156 hp. Moreover, the former will tip the scales at 145 kg (319 lb) wet, wile the base will weigh only 5 kg (11 lb) more.

To achieve such a low weight, the chassis is made of brazed chrome-moly steel with aluminum inserts, while most of the fairing is carbon fiber. The suspension is done by K-Tech KTR forks at the front and fully adjustable K-Tech DDS shock at the rear.

These bikes came to life as a collaboration between the custom builders Spirit of the Seventies and Tony Scott from T3 Racing. Being offered in limited numbers, prices start from £44,999 and go up to £69,999.

“We’re very excited to be launching our first two new models to the market,” Tony Scott said at the unveil. “Both the GP-Street and GP-Sport have been built using our unrivaled technical know-how and engineered to the very highest standards, while maintaining an exquisite and luxurious design. Our limited production run also means Spirit Motorcycles guarantees exclusivity, making the machines the perfect choice for any discerning motorcycle fan."
