Want: Triumph Daytona 675 SE



In the flesh the limited edition Triumph Daytona 675 SE doesn't dissapoint. The white bodywork has a subtle pearlescent finish, the whole bike oozes sophistication. The blue frame and swinging arm is an aquired taste but definitely stands out.

This particular bike is owned by a regular customer and it now sits alongside its his blue and white Triumph Scrambler.

We first saw the bike featured on Hell for Leather and it seems right that its present on the streets of London before our American cousins!

Pictures below and video. Enjoy.

Belstaff Motocycle Jackets Preview

Twice a year we are invited to see the new season's Belstaff Motorcycle Jacketscollection. This involves a short hop to Lambs Conduit Street in Holbourn where the trade showroom is located, coffee, croissants and we get to try on all the samples before deciding on our next order.

The highlights included a replica of the XL 500 jacket, a line of limited edition vintage jackets based on the key designs from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. One of our favourite pieces was the Scholler Dynatec jeans which are protective and very stylish.

We will be taking pre-orders by the end of the week so sign upto the newsletter on Urban Rider if you want to get your hands on the coolest motorcycle jackets in existence!
