Triumph Motorcycles
Updated March 2021
Triumph motorcycles can trace its history back to the early 1900s and is the largest UK-owned motorcycle manufacturer. It has endured periods of financial trouble, but today the Hinckley-based company is enjoying success again.
Few motorcycle manufacturers can match the heritage of Triumph. The British bike builder has more than 100 years of history behind it and a legion of devoted customers. Triumph produced its first motorcycle back in 1905 and just five years later makes its first major innovation – motorcycling’s first practical clutch. Triumph has a storied relationship with the military, providing motorcycles to the allies in both World Wars, including more than 50,000 in WWII despite the factory being demolished in the Blitz of Coventry in 1940. After the war Triumph’s reputation only grew, thanks in part to Marlon Brando riding a Thunderbird in the film “The Wild One” in 1954 and the release of the iconic Bonneville in 1959.
Part of Triumph’s success is due in part to its expansive product line, covering nearly every category of motorcycling. These models include the Tiger range of adventure bikes, the Speed Triple and Street Triple naked bikes, Rocket III power cruiser, and a heritage line of modern classics that include the Thruxton, Speed Twin, Street Twin, Scrambler 1200, and of course, the Bonneville. The entire line of modern classics sees some significant updates for 2021 to meet Euro 5 regulations while losing none of its heritage.
One of Triumph’s most anticipated models is the Trident 660. An affordable way for riders to enter the Triumph family, the Trident 660 is powered by a 660cc three-cylinder based on the company’s famous 675cc Triple first seen on the now discontinued Daytona 675.
What makes it so attractive is its starting price of $8,095. For such an affordable price riders get to experience the Triumph three-cylinder thrill formerly only available on more powerful, or more expensive, models. The tradeoff is basic suspension and brake components, but Triumph is making the gamble that most riders who buy one will be happy enough with it. Besides, if they want to upgrade, Triumph has plenty of options to choose from.
Whether you ride off-road or on, prefer sporty bikes or big, brawling cruisers, Triumph has something to suit everyone’s tastes.
