Retail price and release date in Japan officially confirmed.

The Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition is a limited edition model positioned within Triumph's Modern Classic series. With this announcement, the retail price and release schedule for the Japanese market have been clarified. The manufacturer's suggested retail price is 2,519,000 yen (including tax), and pre-orders will begin on January 27, 2026 at authorized Triumph dealers nationwide. Actual delivery is scheduled to begin in mid-February 2026. The production run will be limited to 800 units worldwide, and all vehicles will come with a certificate of authenticity with a serial number. The number of units to be introduced in Japan has not been announced, but it is expected to attract attention as a rare and highly sought-after model.

This model is based on the Speed Twin 1200 and features exclusive equipment for a café racer-like sport style. Standard features include clip-on handlebars that create a low riding position, a brown-colored valet seat, and bar-end mirrors. The single-seat specification, which omits the pillion step, emphasizes a silhouette reminiscent of the racing machines of yesteryear. The exterior features an exclusive color scheme that combines competition green and aluminum silver. Empire gold lines on the tank and seat cowl add a special touch to the limited edition model. The wheels and headlight bowls are also exclusively colored, creating a unified overall look.

High-performance version based on the Speed Twin 1200

The engine is a 1200 cc vertical twin with maximum output of 105 PS and maximum torque of 112 Nm. Fully adjustable Marzocchi front forks and Öhlins rear suspension round out the high level of suspension. Brembo Stylema calipers are used for the braking system, emphasizing the sportiness of the Café Racer Edition. The bike is also equipped with modern electronic controls such as riding modes, cornering ABS, traction control, and a quick shifter.

The Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition is thus a special edition bike that is equipped and tailored differently from the production model, a package that combines Triumph heritage and modern technology in addition to the rarity of being limited to 800 units worldwide. This model will be highly sought after not only by collectors, but also by riders who want to enjoy everyday riding.
