Beyond starring in some awesome movies, Steve McQueen raced a Porsche, rode a Triumph and wore a Monaco. However tenuously those things might be related, Triumph and Tag Heuer mashed them up in the motorcycle you see here.

The Bonneville-Heuer commemorates the 50th anniversary of the iconic Bonneville motorcycle and the 40th anniversary of the Monaco watch. As for the paintjob, it's a riff on the famous Gulf livery of the No. 20 Porsche 917 McQueen drove in the film Le Mans.

No, you can't have one because, like McQueen, there is only one. It's slated to appear at watch shows and high-end jewelry shops around Europe. If Triumph and Tag they were serious about the homage, they'd have someone jump it over a barbed-wire fence.

Photos: Triumph. More after the jump.
