There are custom bikes out there that make perfect sense—purpose-built machines designed for a specific job. And then there are bikes like this: a supercharged, 400-horsepower Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR that has absolutely no business existing.
And yet, here we are.
Let’s start with the base bike. The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR is already an absolute weapon. I’ve spent a good amount of time with it, and at one point, I even considered buying one for myself. It’s easily the most performance-oriented machine in Triumph’s lineup, with a 1,160cc inline-triple pumping out 177 hp. It’s fast, razor-sharp, and as refined as British sportbikes get. So why, in the name of all that is sensible, would someone strap a supercharger to it and crank the power up to an utterly deranged 400 hp?
