Triumph Hellfire

Triumph Hellfire

Triumph’s Street Triple 675 is light (167kg), powerful (107hp) and fast (141mph, or 225kph). So it’s surprising that it hasn’t been more of a target for tuners. Maybe it’s because the standard package is so ‘right’. But now the German Triumph dealer Motorcorner has created a very stylish flat tracker conversion, called the Hellfire. The mechanicals are wisely left untouched, but new thermoformed plastic body parts have transformed the look of the bike. New 17” wheels are fitted—shod with chunky dirt track tires—along with a stubby BOS Performance exhaust system, which should free up a little more power. The bike is being unveiled today at Motorcorner’s local racetrack, the Hockenheimring. With a projected price of £12,000 (US$17,300) the Hellfire isn’t cheap—but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
