MGSV: The Phantom Pain at Comic-Con London: Triumph motorcycle revealed, merchandise and more
Entertainment convention London Comic-Con has kicked off today, and Konami is there with a special Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain stand. The main event was the reveal of a special edition MGSV Triumph motorcycle, the Venom Triumph Bonneville VTB.1. According to Triumph, only one has been made.
“Here it is! A one-off Triumph Bonneville, celebrating KonamiUK new game – Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.” Triumph Twitter
“Pro tip: Take a close look at the VTB.1. One of the “arms” of the handlebars is a metallic red colour…” Konami UK Twitter
MotorcycleNews reports: Venom is based on the Bonneville T100 ridden by character Snake in Metal Gear Solid V, and was created in-house by the Triumph team. There are no mirrors, speedo, or rev counter, and it wears aggressive go-anywhere Continental TKC80 tyres, while the stock saddle has been cut down and refinished in Sneaking Suit neoprene and carbon Kevlar leather, inspired by Snake’s combat wear. A heavy duty ammo rack loops around the back of the saddle, offering both protection and somewhere secure to bolt down an extra case or two of rounds.
Before the reveal the bike was kept hidden under this large cardboard box:
“The VTB.1 ‘Venom Triumph Bonneville’ is revealed!”
There’s also various Metal Gear merchandise visitors can score at the event, such as Insert Coin t-shirts, Level Up wear and Musterbrand items, as well as the newly announced 1984 Collection clothing line.
Also, Play Arts action figures, including Skull Face and the recently released Quiet can be purchased at the event.

that is an awesome bike!
DAMN !!!! I WANT THE BIKE!
is it limited? or not?
According to Triumph it’s a ‘one-off’ item.
I will give, it all for it,(not for honor but for ittttttttt snake eaterrrr)
shit :'( i wish i was in london. wouldnt hesitate a second.
what’s a one off item?
That they only made one, supposedly.
i soooooo want that bike but when a normal Bonneville t100 costs about £8000 the cost of this one will make me cry lol
999999999999999999999999999999999999999998$
:O …
Yes yes, I know you’d like to know how much. I’m afraid it costs… nine thousand thousand thousand… yen.
I dont think itd he that hard to customize it yourself to make it look like this. I’ll try whenever i get my Triumph xD
So Awesome! Looks so special with nice touch of red painted parts with matte Black.
It is a Masterpiece! Hope we can use it within gameplay!
probably we can.
exhaust is very short, wow. and wrapped. wrapped because its probably too loud.
The wrap is for heat lol some people put it on for the aesthetic but it’s used as a heat shield
Eva confirmed lol
I SERIOUSLY hope she’s an in-game character, and not just in tape form like in Peace Walker.
Damn I was never interested in motorcycles but this makes me sweat so much
In all the gameplay videos we’ve seen were Big Boss ordered something from motherbase it came with that green cardboardbox.
I really think we can use that motorcycle in the game guys :O
I don’t think they would have built this if it was just shown in a
cutscene or something. This thing gotta be rideable in the game!
I agree, it must be in the game 😀
it will be in the game. i’m 100000% sure.
Can’t wait to ride it in TPP :). I’ve been hoping ever since the GDC trailer that we can ride some motorcycle.
Do you think the leather jacket and the cigar will be in the final version. Which role do you think the leather jacket have in the story and the same for sneaking suit.
Just casually ride it through the hospital or steal Kaz’ sunglasses and drive around him hehe
Dude it’s obviously playable.
Yeah, they wouldn’t show the bike at an event and not have it in the game.
Where is the love box when you need it? <3
Eva confirmed then, LMAO. (Kidding… Or not…)
…you mean, that’s my ride?!
That’s my in game ride?!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish that was my out-of-game ride…
So… With the girl on the bike resembling EVA, does that give us a hint? I know her voice was in Peace Walker, but maybe she’ll meet Big Boss again…
We gon’ rescue her :3
How come my comment was deleted?
It’s still there for me
Restored it, not sure why it was deleted.
The model on the bike has nice tits, and the bench should smell good…
hahahaha…

so maybe we can ride this in the game
Interesting, added to the post. yes, it does sound like Snake will be able to ride it in the game, which would make sense of course.
We are going to be spotted riding the motorcycle through afghanistan.
And talking about spending too much money in a game… don’t tell this to konami’s president.
Amazing!
A couple small things….
1. This thing looks like a toy in the first couple of pics.
2. Maybe there are multiple motorcycles in the game because this is certainly not the same bike from the end of the Not Your Kind Of People trailer. In that trailer, the bike clearly has an instrument cluster, and the handlebars seem differnt. In fact I am actually wondering if the Handlebars from the trailer would even work on a bike like this. Sure, you could swap em, and they would fit, but I doubt it would be a comfy ride, the seating position just seems wrong to me (Bonneville is too high). My guess (and hope) is we will have a choice of different bikes. Or maybe I am an idiot… Only time will tell.
On second thought… I think I may be wrong on that. Most likely just the camera angle. BB just seems to be sitting far deeper in the saddle than the Bonneville would normally allow. I mean, if its not the camera angle then I dunno cause in the trailer we are getting a good head and shoulder shot from the bars, yet on this bike it looks more like it would be more of a belt and crotch shot LOL.
I was there!! 😀
Few more pics from the event.

Also if you spend over £50 you get a brand new copy of Ground Zeroes (PC,PS4,PS3,XB1,XB360) for free!
get ur hands off my bike!
No can do I’m afraid because as a great woman once said, I only get off my bike when I fall in love or fall dead. 🙂

All the fuzz about riding bikes, cars, tanks, horses, etc and the feeling of customization on those in TPP remind me of another game.
Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts
If I had this bike, I’d only get off of it if I fell in love or fell dead
What?!
Are you never gonna play The Phantom Pain or what? LOL
A bike like this for the figurines would be cool too. 🙂
Meh, l’m dissapointed. I was expecting the chopper that Big Boss was riding in the “Not Your Kind Of People” trailer. That’s not it…
What chopper? If you are referring to the bike then yes it is the same exact one.
No it’s not the same. The mirrors are missing and the brake/cluch are completely different. Not to mention the meters in front of the handlebars. Take a look.

I’m actually hoping for some variety. I think I remember seeing some artwork of Eva with a 80s suzuki.
You mean in the MGS4 Master Art Works book?
http://metalgearinformer.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Eva-on-Suzuki.jpg
Yeah thats the one. I guess I just assumed it was MGSV artwork, since that bike wasnt in any previous game.
BB has no scars on that pic. so? things change during production, maybe it wasn’t the final build. GZ got a whole other filter in-game then in the reveal trailers. the “not your kind of people” trailer is 2 years old now…
True. I see your point.
I mean chopper as this:

I’ve always liked this kind more than the chopper one. More ‘classic’ I would say, I love the T100 and T1000 Bonneville. But as long as we can assume that this will be rideable in the game after it is developed in Mother Base, we can also assume that there will be more models, so the chopper could be easily found too.
thats it probably.
hope we can ride the bike so completing extra-ops or exploring that big map can be done faster (like in gta where a bike is more useful than a car) be we’ll be able to upgrade it in order to make it more silent…
November of 83, I can see Kaz, Ocelot and the rest of the unit on the new year’s eve dancing to this…
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night, and no one’s gonna save you from the beast about to strike.
You know it’s thriller, thriller night. You’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller.

XD it would be cool that when Snake fights the Skulls in the game, he turns on this song and blast it through the speakers of the iDroid causing the Skulls to dance like those zombies in the music video!
We’re talking about Kojima… everything is possible xDDD

So uh is this real? :O

nah! it points to 9/11 instead of 9/01
Well…looks like I know what figures I’m picking up from San Diego comic con.
Damn…..I would be happy with a sweet messenger bag that looks like the bag on the bike.
Side note. I have worked the sdcc for over 7 years now so if there is any neat mgs stuff I will take plenty of pix to share!
Sounds great, thank you! When is San Diego Comic-Con?
July 8th through the 12. The 8th is Wednesday, “preview day” and you have to have a “special pass” to get in. It really kicks off on the 9th though. Ends on Sunday.
Thanks!
Great, a motorcycle that 15 people will buy…
This is my bike!
