Description
Built for the road, styled for the soul.
At SW60's we normally specialise in factory-correct classic Triumphs, but every now and then a truly special machine comes along. This stunning one-off café racer was professionally built by CRK (Cafe Racer Kits) using a 1998 Triumph Sprint Executive 885cc donor bike, creating a unique machine that captures the spirit and attitude of the original 1960s café racers while delivering modern reliability and performance.
This is a properly engineered build, not a cosmetic conversion. The original Hinckley Triumph was stripped and rebuilt using one of CRK's highly regarded T300 café racer kits together with Maxton Race Suspension. The result is a nimble, muscular retro racer finished in striking Grenadier Red and white 1966 Bonneville race colours, complete with Gene Vincent-inspired detailing and lyrics hidden beneath the tank barcode.
Every part of this motorcycle has personality. From its aggressive clip-on riding position and minimalist tail section to the polished upswept exhausts and blacked-out engine, this is a genuine one-off machine that turns heads everywhere it goes.

Condition
The bike presents beautifully and attracts attention wherever it goes. The Grenadier Red and white race-stripe tank evokes the great Triumph race bikes of the 1960s, while the polished exhausts and stripped-back styling give it the look and feel of a proper vintage racer.
More than just a showpiece, this machine delivers the unmistakable soundtrack and torque of Triumph's famous 885cc triple.
It starts instantly, runs beautifully, growls and barks exactly as a café racer should, and rides every bit as well as it looks.
Donor Bike / Engineering
The donor machine was a 1998 Triumph Sprint Executive, one of the premium sport-touring models from Triumph's early Hinckley era.
Powered by the highly regarded 885cc liquid-cooled inline triple, these bikes are renowned for their reliability, smooth power delivery and distinctive exhaust note. The Sprint Executive also provided quality running gear including a steel spine frame, triple-disc braking system and 6-speed transmission.
The CRK conversion retains the engineering integrity of the original Triumph while transforming it into a unique, aggressive and highly desirable café racer.
