Triumph Motorcycles continues to commemorate its 120th anniversary, and one of its many objectives is to revamp its classic lineup with the Triumph Modern Classics 2023 series.
The British manufacturer has opted to make significant modifications to its popular motorcycles. Thus, the Street Twin will become the Speed Twin 900, the Street Scrambler will become the Scrambler 900, and the Street moniker will be kept for the Street Triple S/R/RS.
With these modifications, the Speed Twin 900 is now similar to the Speed Twin 1200 and the Scrambler 900 to the Scrambler 1200, providing greater clarity when discussing displacement and the relationship between the Twin and Scrambler families.
In addition to the new names for Modern Classics, the logo for 2023 features new, lively hues. The palette contains new color combinations inspired by the popularity of the 2022 Gold Line edition.
Also, the removal of the appellation “Street” indicates that the British company likely plans to create a model to compete in the category and become the new object of desire for people who enjoy riding a motorcycle in the city.
Speed Twin 900 (previously Street Twin)
The newly rebranded Speed Twin 900 comes in three colors for the 2023 model year, including the iconic Triumph Jet Black, Matt Ironstone, and a new Matt Silver Ice option with silver and yellow highlights.
This new color scheme features a Matt Silver Ice fuel tank with silver and yellow graphics, Jet Black side panels bearing the new Speed Twin 900 insignia, and Jet Black front and rear fenders. An authentic example of a vintage bicycle.
