What happens when you put top-notch hand-painted detail with eight motorcycles in Triumph’s renowned Modern Classic range?

A whole lot of sexy – and we’re digging the gold vibes.

The report from RoadRacingWorld states that Triumph’s all-new Gold Line Edition range will be available for one short year, with only 1000 units to be sold worldwide; after that, the ‘limited’ sets in, and you’re stuck waiting for the next pretty Triumph bike to come out (it’s not been long since the company revealed their Bond Edition Scrambler 1200 and Tiger 900 Rally Pro, and 2022 is just around the corner…so we’re expecting Triumph to deliver in spades, as per usual.)

The bikes will not only feature a gilded aesthetic but will also sport ‘enhanced capability and performance’ in the form of the following:

The Bonneville T100 Gold Line Edition features a punchy 900cc twin-engine and a high level of specification, including cartridge forks, Brembo front brake with ABS, torque-assist clutch and switchable traction control, and of course the additional 10PS peak power, for a total of 64hp @ 7,400rpm and peak torque of 59 lb-ft @ 3,750rpm.

  • Baja Orange and Silver Ice fuel tank with Pure White stripe, brushed foil knee pads, hand-painted gold lining, and elegant ‘gold line’ logo.
  • Jet Black side panel and headlight bowl

“Many of the new Gold Line Edition designs start with a two-color base scheme, where the joining point between the two colors is flattened down,” states the report.

“The gold line is then carefully hand-applied, usually in one continuous stroke by the artist, using a very specialized soft-bristled sword-liner brush. Once the pinstripe is in place, it’s sealed against the elements with a final clear coat of lacquer.”

“The paints used for the gold lining are specially formulated by mixing a powdered color with a cellulose lacquer for exactly the right consistency, as normal automotive paint is too thin for brushwork.”

“Just like every hand-lined Triumph, the artist adds the finishing detail to each Gold Line Edition by signing their work with their initials, providing a personal touch that makes every hand-painted Triumph special.”

We can’t wait to see Triumph’s next beastie – with the company integrated into the Bond movies as well as their usual lineups, the brand has been more than a little busy – and they show no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Stay tuned for updates, and while you’re at it, why not read on some of the stunt secrets that occurred in that new Bond movie?
