Ace 675CR Street Triple Special
Ace 675CR Street Triple Special
London’s Ace Cafe will forever be associated with greasy rockers old Brit iron and the post-War “Ton-Up Boys”. But this venerable institution has now put its name to a very contemporary café racer—based on the Triumph Street Triple R. A short run of ten 675CR Street Triple Specials will be built by Jack Lilley the long established West London Triumph dealer.
The stock Street Triple R is not short of performance so mechanical upgrades are minimal. The 12-valve motor has been fitted with heat-wrapped down pipes Arrow end cans and Triumph’s own Quickshifter. The highly-regarded German Triumph specialist LSL supplies adjustable rear-sets clip-ons grips and levers plus mirrors and brake reservoirs. Other LSL parts include a “tail tidy” crash protectors for the forks swingarm clutch and frame and a single powerful 7” headlight.
Custom graphics and paint are applied to the seat and radiator cowls belly pan and even the lightweight five-spoke cast 17” aluminum wheels. Tires are top-spec Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa.
The cost of the Ace 675CR is £12999 (around US20700). That’s around £5000 over the factory bike. But then again it’s not cheap to upgrade a bike as good as the stock Street Triple R—and exclusivity always has a price.
