Triumph Motorcycles is a British motorcycle
manufacturer started producing
motorcycles by 1902 with a bicycle fitted with a
Belgian-built engine.
Triumph's heritage is tied to parallel twins and triples, and these are
the marketing and development focus of Triumph's marketing
strategy today. Four-cylinder models found themselves competing
head-on against Japanese machines, especially in the sports bike
market, and although competent could not generate sufficient
profit for a relatively low-volume manufacturer like Triumph. In
addition to modern machines, Triumph is now also carving out a
niche in the motorcycle market based on nostalgic looking engine
technologies and design. The 865 cc iterations of the Bonneville
and Thruxton look like slightly revised versions of their 1960s
counterparts - so although looking and sounding original,
internally they include modern valves and counter balance
shafts. For their contemporary range of motorcycles, the
distinctive triple is Hinckley Triumph's trademark, filling a
niche between European and American twins and four cylinder
Japanese machinery. The 2294 cc triple Rocket III cruiser was
introduced in 2004 and proved highly successful.
