Well, new to me. Actually it's a 2009 I just bought a couple months ago., and actually, it's a Suzuki TU250X, sold everywhere but in California. Never saw one before, but liked the idea of making it into the modern/retro bike Triumph never made. It's even fuel injected! Perfect companion for my 2004 Bonnie.

Just a few Bonnie parts - headlight ears, gaiters, taillight, turn signals added, along with removing the grab rail, shortening the rear seat, peashooter muffler and tank and sidecover markings, and it looks completely different.

Very well done. Suzuki should have consulted with you before finalizing the design. This is a fine bike that begged for a little "dressing up".

Lol that is going to fool a lot of people. Fooled me. I immediately went into memory search mode, and I drew a blank on a modern 250 from Triumph. Triumph was working on a 250, maybe 2 years ago, but decided not to continue.

Thanks Ferret,
It almost became a "Honda". The CB1100 badge was a perfect - too perfect color match.

WOW, I'm impressed!
There have been rumors for ages about Triumph building a small single-cylinder for foreign markets and at first I thought this was one.
Great job Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

You had me fooled for a minute. I was thinking this was some obscure badge - engineered bike that Suzuki made for Triumph so they'd have a small bike to sell...and maybe wasn't popular and sold just one year.

Very well done!

That would be cool in a 350-400 single, 40 ish hp, like the KTM 390.
