Why triumph motorcycles

An accomplishment, to be sure, but not the one being portrayed. Notice that spelling too, Daytona, not Dayton. Modern Triumphs are built in Hinkley, UK.

Those companies are no longer. Triumph got a large boost of visibility by a tie-in with ICON motorcycle gear. Enjoying every mile! I own a Bonneville T and a Harley Davidson Sportster and have been a motorcycle rider since I was thrilled to see the return of Triumph, the introduction of the Thunderbird and finally the return of the Bonneville.

In the early years I kept contacting Triumph urging them to revive the TR-6c which finally came into being with the Scrambler.

I would really love to see Triumph now expand the range in the lower end. It is time for a scaled down Bonneville, lighter and lower powered and priced aimed at the new rider market. A lowered seat height and perhaps a hard-tail springer frame return of the original Speed Twin in cc with maybe even a down the line would be a place for Triumph to bring in new riders and enter the short inseam market of girls and short guys.

A cc engine making 81 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque provides the scoot to jam through turns, with ample power found throughout the rev range. And, of course, it looks dynamite. The Triumph Street Triple is widely considered to be one of the best middleweight naked bikes on the market. With a newly developed cc three-cylinder engine also used as the powerplant for Moto2, the Street Triple is more capable and fun to ride than ever.
