World-class workmanship is what we’ve come to expect from Tamarit Motorcycles, and the results of their painstaking labor never fail to impress. Looking back through the shop’s portfolio, you’ll find that even their older projects were absolutely top-notch by every metric. Nicknamed Veneno, the bike you’re looking at here was Tamarit’s 101st build from a while back, but it’s no less intriguing than their more recent undertakings.
It started out as a stock Triumph Bonneville T100, which was promptly dismantled upon arrival at their garage and set on a path toward street tracker styling. All the factory bodywork aside from the fuel tank has been eliminated, along with items such as the subframe, rear suspension, and lighting. Not even the gas tank remained unchanged, though, as it was stripped of its knee pads and Triumph badges.
The latter made room for Tamarit-branded replacements with brass plating, but we’re far more captivated by the mods performed at the front and rear. Where the OEM subframe had once been, you will now see a bare-bones cantilever seat pan topped with thin but comfortable padding and black leather upholstery. Furthermore, the Spanish customization gurus converted the Bonneville’s rear suspension for twin shocks to a single unit.
Some heavy tweaking and bracing of the swingarm was needed to make the new arrangement fit, and they pulled it off in spectacular fashion. Rounding out the equipment in that area are dual multi-function LEDs and a stylish badge depicting the project’s name and number, all attached to the underside of the seat base. Although things aren’t quite as complicated at the front, the whole setup is still a sight to behold.
A tracker-style number board replaces the original headlamp, complete with an integrated LED lighting strip near the bottom. Lower down, we notice an aftermarket spotlight providing additional illumination, while the standard forks are now equipped with custom guards and spring-like embellishments. The brakes received fresh rotors for improved stopping power on both ends.
In the cockpit, Veneno wears a low-profile handlebar with adjustable control levers, bar-end mirrors, and Biltwell grips. Most of the other goodies you’ll spot there came from Motogadget’s range, including the switches, digital Motoscope Pro dial, and bar-end turn signals. The motorcycle’s parallel-twin mill saw its covers nickel-plated for extra durability and a lustrous finish.
Tamarit swapped the factory exhaust with a high-mounted two-into-one item from Zard, while adding K&N pod filters at the other end of the combustion cycle. A drilled sump guard protects the engine’s underside during off-road excursions, and Continental’s beefy TKC 80 Twinduro knobbies provide plentiful grip both on and off the tarmac. Lastly, Veneno’s paintwork is an all-black affair, further highlighting the tasty finishes found on things like the swingarm and engine cases.
