'World’s Fastest Bobber' up for grabs
The gavel is set to drop on one highly unique – and stupendously powerful – custom Triumph Bobber…If you love the low-slung look Triumph’s Bonneville Bobber, but you’re after a little more pep, then have we got the solution for you…
This Triumph Bonneville Bobber has been customised by British specialist Thornton Hundred, and with a supercharger and nitrous it can now pump out up to 201hp at the rear wheel, as it rockets its way down the quarter mile at 10.49 seconds.
World’s Fastest Bobber
It’s been billed as the World’s Fastest Bobber and it seems this sweet and superb ride packs plenty of substance behind that claim.
The private bike of Thornton Hundred founder and owner, Jody Millhouse, it’s been created to showcase the custom motorcycle specialist’s engineering talents, and what a showcase it is.
Based on a 2019 Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black, Thornton Hundred has transformed the look of the machine with its V4 Wide Kit, before going to town on the bike powertrain and components.
The uprated 1200cc parallel-twin now sports TTS machined cases and more robust internals, plus a custom ECU, wiring, and exhaust system. Then there’s the TTS Rotrex C15 supercharger and twin nitrous tanks, which push the bike’s top speed from 150mph (240km/h) to 170mph (272km/h)!

Daily ride?
But despite the performance boost, Millhouse says he designed the bike to serve as a usable daily ride, with other upgrades spanning the custom Öhlins fork and monoshock, revised Brembo monobloc brakes, and wider Excel billet aluminium spoked rims shod with grippy Michelin rubber.
The bike was finished off to perfection with a gloss-black frame, striking custom paint, and a long list of tasty aftermarket goodies – the lighting, the seat, the CNC billet guards, the list goes on…
