The model was unveiled via an online launch as a part of the revised 2021 Triumph Bonneville range, which spans a number of improvements across both the T120 and T100 platforms, with their respective 1200cc and 900cc parallel-twin engines.
The Triumph Street Twin is powered by the 900cc parallel-twin, while the Triumph Speed Twin is powered by the 1200cc parallel-twin.
While the update is headlined by the move to Euro 5 emissions compliance, it also encompasses better engine and throttle response, plus suspension, brake, electronics and cosmetic revisions.
The Triumph Bonneville T120 and T120 Black are also now 7kg lighter, while the Triumph Bonneville T100 is 4kg lighter, in addition to gaining an extra 10hp from its 900cc parallel-twin (now 64hp at 7400rpm and 80Nm at 3750rpm), roughly bringing it in line with the Street Twin.
Output on the 2021 Triumph Street Twin remains unchanged at 64hp at 7500rpm and 80Nm at 3800rpm, but the updated model scores Euro 5 compliance plus a thicker, more comfortable bench seat, new cast wheels with machined detailing, new bodywork and brushed aluminium detailing, the latter including the throttle body covers, headlamp bracket, and side panel mesh.
The 2021 Triumph Street Twin Gold Line Limited Edition receives all the same updates as the base-model Street Twin, along with its unique styling and certificate of authenticity.
Artisan talent
"The exquisite hand-detailed custom edition of the 2021 Street Twin delivers all of the new generation updates and celebrates the timeless classic Triumph logo and hand-painted, gold lining skills of Triumph's expert paint shop," says Triumph.
"There are only 1000 of these beautiful motorcycles worldwide, each one coming with a certificate of authenticity personalised with the unique VIN number of the bike, making these even more exclusive."
Triumph says the numbers of bike destined for each individual world market will be determined by demand.
Pricing for the full 2021 Triumph Bonneville range, including the 2021 Street Twin and 2021 Street Twin Gold Line Limited Edition, will be announced closer to the models' arrival in Australia in the second quarter of this year.
Currently the Triumph Street Twin serves as the entry point to the entire Modern Classics range, and is priced (as of February 2021) from $15,890 ride away.
