This delightful Triumph-based custom is the first model from TPR, a new Italian shop based in Milan. The aim of TPR’s founder Pietro Figini is to produce motorcycles with “character and charm”, using Triumph’s 865 cc engine and the Bonneville’s tubular steel cradle frame as a starting point. The specs look good: the parallel twin motor has been reworked to boost power from 67 to (a claimed) 75 bhp, and around 20 kg has been shaved from the stock Bonneville’s weight. The styling and detailing are absolutely top drawer, as the images on TPR’s website show. Best of all, it looks like the Urban Scrambler will not be a one-off: the company’s full name is “TPR Italian Factory”, no doubt to reinforce its production abilities. Several Urban Scramblers have already been built, with an ‘R’ variant in the pipeline and three other models on the drawing board. Looks like our favorite European Triumph specialists Mecatwin and LSL now have some competition.
