No matter how your day is going, a custom beauty from Tamarit Motorcycles is sure to bring a warm ray of sunshine into it. We’ve brought dozens of their projects to your attention over the years, and there’s not a single builder out there who knows Triumph’s modern classics better than they do. The bike you’re seeing here goes by the name of Martyushka, revolving around a Scrambler 1200 XE.
Tamarit’s gurus are no strangers to working with this Triumph model, so it’s not at all surprising that they’ve knocked it out of the park once again. Starting with the motorcycle’s bodywork, the only stock part to be retained was the fuel tank, while everything else has been taken out of the equation. A new high-mounted fender is now present at the front end, together with custom fork guards lower down.
Making our way rearward, we come across an aluminum skid plate encasing the engine’s underside, then there are those fresh side covers that conceal the Scrambler’s airbox. The right unit acts as a heat shield to prevent things from getting too toasty near the rider’s thigh, where the new two-into-one exhaust system ends.
Fabricated out of stainless-steel, this high-mounted pipework is encased in more heat shielding toward the front, and the muffler wears a Tamarit badge plated with gold leaf. A gorgeous tan leather saddle is placed above the side panels, made in two separate pieces and supported by a modded subframe. Underneath, there is a very practical rear fender keeping most of the grime and debris at bay.
The mudguard is topped with a Bates-style LED taillight, but there is also a slender license plate bracket attached to it out back. Discreet aftermarket turn signals are integrated into the latter, and a Tamarit-branded chain guard is also present low down on the right-hand side. Turning our attention back to the front end, we find a replacement LED headlight sure to keep the way ahead brightly lit, protected by a sturdy metal grill.
Martyushka still uses the original dash in the cockpit area, while the factory handlebar was swapped with an off-the-shelf alternative devoid of any hand guards. Aftermarket rear-view mirrors make an appearance, as well, supposedly hailing from Motogadget’s catalog. As for the front-end blinkers, they are LED items neatly integrated into the headlight mounts left and right.
The fuel tank is now embellished with Tamarit badges, while the engine features circular emblems depicting the build name and number. Lastly, a whole load of elbow grease was put toward the final touches, with an abundance of chrome and brass plating worn by Martyushka in various places. The bodywork is painted in a mixture of light blue and white, along with gold leaf detailing and more lustrous chrome.
A bit of an artist himself, Silvian sees two- and four-wheeled machines as a form of art, especially restomods and custom rides. Oh, and if you come across a cafe racer article on our website, it’s most likely his doing. Full profile
