Love to read some shop owners’ custom building philosophy. The one of Kevin Dunworth, owner of Loaded Guns Customs? “Turning the wrong into the righteous, the good into the wicked and anarchy into organized chaos. In other words, taking the merely bad and turning it into the simply bad assed.” Well said… Well done?
I let you judge this custom designed Triumph that can be built to your own specifications with unlimited options, from stock to full race provided by “Mach Modified” Only 8 documented units available starting at $18,500. This one, named Bucephalus (the horse of Alexander the Great, and one of the most famous actual horses of antiquity) is built with a 7005 Aluminum main frame, 4130 Cro-Mo swingarm, a Race Tech suspension, Bringer Brakes, Seat pan hand stitched and wrapped in glove leather and an Handmade aluminum fuel cell.
While several major manufacturers went back to mass manufacturing, Café style models, the most inspired examples continue to emerge from small custom building shops. Loaded Guns Customs (photography @ Triumph North America)
Beautiful Yes, Practical No
I don’t see why it would not be practical. Great Cafe.
Great job.
Badass Cafe.
Looks very promising. Certainly looks like a primary frame with little flex – a fundamental in Handling-101.
The price is steep (looks roughly double) – I have not looked at their website, but for that kind of money, a key consideration would be Torque/Weight and naturally how the torque curve looks (dips, humps, linear, etc).
It has always been said, put a parallel twin in a light bike, its character changes completely; this is light and seems like a good handling thing.
On the surface, it sure looks, RIGHT-eous…
Nortan beware?!?
Nice to see a bike one can actually ride. Looks like a blast and probably goes as well as it looks. Not for the single bike owner but when the time is right not much else would compare. ..Z
Less is more. Very cool scoot.
Gotta agree with zipper…not for the single bike owner, but a cool toy to have for when the time is right.
Way Cool…!!!

I would not ride one on the streets. But on a track? Different story.
Looks so capable.
Nice cafe racer type bike
I would not buy it but I’m old & cranky !!!
And the name, Bucephalus, really ???
Yes, Alexander the Great named his horse
Kind of odd in this day & age ???
Sure like those early 9-head-bolt motors.
Makes one wonder if going to OHC was really worth the increase in size.
The 8 valve Weslake motor looked better (to me) than the new twin.

Great Job Kevin ! The bike looks awesome and is very innovative !
