Paul Smith Limited Edition, #21 of 50 produced, only 9 miles from new! 2006 Triumph Bonneville T100 Frame no. SMT910K186J261651 Engine no. 2262697 Ever since the re-emergence of a newly revitalized Triumph in 1990, enthusiasts had been eagerly waiting the revival of the Bonneville brand, one of the most evocative names in motorcycling history. Ten years would elapse before Triumph felt ready to do so, having by then emphatically established its credentials as a builder of thoroughly modern motorcycles rivalling the best from Japan and Europe. Triumph's design brief for the new Bonneville was to emulate the classic style of the late 1960s version while incorporating the best of modern technology in the engine, transmission and running gear. The new Bonneville debuted to critical acclaim at the Munich Motorcycle Show. In 2006, the celebrated British fashion designer Paul Smith personally designed a signature series of the classic Triumph Bonneville T100. The 'Multi-Union' and 'Fast Live' designs were produced by the factory as limited editions of 50 units each for sale through official Triumph dealers. The machine offered here, number 21 of the 50, was purchased as a piece of art investment. It was passed to two further art collectors, who also never rode the machine. Showing slightly less than 9 delivery miles from new, the bike is in just about "as new" condition throughout. There are no scratches, scuffs or dings in any surface, chrome is as new, tires retain the original hairs, the seat is perfect, etc., etc. The last one sold at auction was in 2011 at RM Auctions, and with 170 miles reached $18,700, making this a great opportunity to buy an investment quality, “new”, numbered special edition Bonneville, ready to show in pride of place in any modern pop art collection.
