Triumph Bonneville VE Day Commemorative Bike

The contenders for this year´s Triumph Bonneville Build-Off Challenge 2020 (a national competition to build the best custom bike, based on the iconic Bonneville range) have been unveiled. The bikes were submitted by Triumph dealers from around the UK and the bikes can now be viewed and voted for online. Dealers could choose from either the 900cc or the 1200cc Bonneville as their base model. Our pick is this impressive build by Bristol dealers Fowlers Motorcycles and is one of the nine finalists in the event. The team used British army heritage as the inspiration for their build, and used a combination of vintage, military-inspired themes with modern mechanicals and accessories. Seamlessly combining a modern bike with a heritage feel, they used girder forks, canvas bags and big bars to pay homage to a past time. Army issue green was the clear color choice for this beautifully crafted bike!
