A Bonneville For Bonneville

Riding South Bay Triumph's Record-Setting Turbo TwinTriumph motorcycles have a long and distinguished history at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats. In fact, its most iconic model is named the Bonneville, in honor of an outright motorcycle speed record set by Texan Johnny Allen in his Triumph streamliner in 1955. Matt Capri has a colorful history on the salt as well. The founder of BMW tuning house Luftmeister, Capri set his first speed records at Bonneville in the '80s, riding various normally aspirated and turbocharged BMWs. He opened his South Bay Triumph dealership in '95 and began setting records with the British brand shortly thereafter, including one in excess of 200 mph on a turbocharged Daytona.
