2004 Triumph Motorcycle Range
Triumph carry one of the oldest
and most famous names in motorcycling. A
name that dates back to 1885 when Siegfried
Bettman settled in Coventry and started
selling bicycles. With the advent of the
internal combustion engine, Bettmann moved
into powered two wheelers, with the first
Triumph motorcycle emerging in 1902. Many
renowned Triumph models have been built
since then. Bikes such as the Bonneville,
Thunderbird and Tiger, which dominated the
motorcycle world during the British industry's
golden age in the 50's and 60's. Evoking
the spirit of the era, these machines starred
opposite the likes of Steve McQueen, Marlon
Brando and Clint Eastwood.
Today, Triumph is still a
privately-owned British company and Triumphs
are still designed and manufactured in Britain,
although many events have shaped the company
and our motorcycles over the last 100 years
or so. Our main production facilities are
located in Hinckley, Leicestershire, England
around 20 miles from the very first Triumph
site. Equipped with the latest technology
and using state-of-the-art machinery our
workforce is proud of the great range of
Triumph bikes made today.
Drawing inspiration from the
past, our classic machines offer a rare
combination of authentic, traditional styling
backed by modern reliability and lively
performance, whilst our touring models come
with built-in character, long-distance comfort,
high performance and an enviable reputation
for reliability. And with the recent launch
of the Daytona 600, Triumph's commitment
to producing distinctive sports motorcycles
of the highest calibre has never been greater.
