4 years after Triumph’s 100th anniversary, Paul Smith designed 9 different T100 Bonnevilles, each with a custom paint job. Triumph took two of the designs and sold 50 of each – one was called “Live Fast”, the other is what you see in front of you here, a Triumph Bonneville Multi-Union.
As you might expect, the only changes were cosmetic. So you still got the 865cc parallel twin that produced 61 horsepower, good for a 110 mph top speed. Multi-Union is presumably named for the multiple stylized Union Jacks incorporated in the livery. For examples of the other schemes Paul Smith created, check out this link from Return of the Cafe Racers, who clearly do not like the customization.
This specific Triumph Bonneville Multi-Union (VIN: SMT910K186J261651) is #21 of the 50 produced, and it has just 9 miles. It was apparently purchased as an art investment, and has gone through two other art collectors who didn’t ride the bike. It’s claimed to be just about new and comes with the original documentation and Letter of Authenticity.
