Stan Evans’ sheer passion for one-of-a-kind motorcycles led to the birth of this majestic undertaking.
To be quite frank, Triumph’s almighty Speed Triple is a genuine showstopper. This monstrous piece of two-wheeled machinery is brought to life by a menacing liquid-cooled DOHC inline-three monstrosity, with four valves per cylinder head and a colossal displacement of no less than 1,050cc. Additionally, the engine boasts a healthy compression ratio of 12.0:1.
At around 9,250 rpm, the powerplant will generate as much as 128 hp. On the other hand, a feral torque output of 82 pound-feet (111 Nm) will be supplied at approximately 7,500 rpm. A six-speed transmission feeds the engine’s sheer force to the rear 17-inch wheel via a chain final drive. Ultimately, this whole shebang enables the machine to reach a solid top speed of 141 mph (227 kph).
Now, let’s proceed with a thorough analysis of a custom Speed Triple that does a neat job at looking seriously rad. The author behind this surreal creature goes by the name of Stan Evans, a Los Angeles-based photographer with a fierce passion for modifying two-wheelers of all shapes and sizes. Evans’ one-off Speed Triple was unleashed back in 2012.
For starters, the moto artist went about installing countless state-of-the-art items to achieve the desired aesthetic. You will find a Renthal handlebar, a titanium sprocket guard and a pair of adjustable rear-mounted foot pegs from LSL, as well as a Motodemic EVO headlight unit and Motobox LED turn signals. Speed Triple’s standard hoops were discarded to make room for OZ counterparts.
The bike’s forks were blessed with top-shelf springs from Ohlins’ inventory, while the rear suspension received a single Nitron shock absorber. Furthermore, stopping power is improved by a selection of Brembo components. The original muffler was swapped out in favor of an aftermarket counterpart from Compwekes.
To wrap it all up, the entire structure was enveloped in an ominous matte black finish that keeps things looking brutal. All things considered, Stan Evans’ bespoke entity will leave just about any moto-loving gearhead speechless!
