Steve McQueen
Triumph introduce Steve McQueen Edition motorcycleTriumph has joined forces with the estate of Hollywood icon Steve McQueen to create a limited edition motorcycle that pays tribute to the late actor’s love of the British brand’s products.
Just 1100 of the Triumph Steve McQueenTM Edition will be produced and sold worldwide from April 2012, which is likely to make it one of 2012’s most sought after bikes.
McQueen was famous almost as much for his passion for cars, aeroplanes and motorcycles as he was for his legendary movies. He owned numerous Triumph motorcycles and loved to spend his spare time riding in the Californian dunes aboard his modified 1963 Triumph Bonneville. A highly accomplished rider, he also competed in the 1964 International Six Day Trial in East Germany using a factory-prepared 650cc Triumph Trophy and was reputed to have owned 138 motorcycles.
