“We are excited to re-introduce the 2021 Speed Twin to the Bonneville family; it’s popularity and demand has been consistent since we first raised the curtain off this one. With this launch, we expand the Modern Classic portfolio in India to seven motorcycles, each with a unique character to suit the discerning tastes of our consumers. The 2021 Speed Twin, which is now BS6 compliant, offers a seamless amalgamation of character and style, combining the torque character of the Thruxton R and the contemporary style and nimbleness of the Street Twin which is sure to attract younger audiences,” Triumph Motorcycles India Business Head Shoeb Farooq said at the launch.
