Triumph have over 100 years of history in producing motorcycles. Based at their famous factory in Hinckley they continue to turn out bikes centred around their unique triple cylinder engines that set pulses racing.
The biking press have been quick to criticise Triumph for failing to produce a sports bike that can really hold its own with the Japanese manufacturers, but it would take a professional rider to expose the defincies of the Triumph race-reps and in terms of styling they win out every time. The current Daytona 675 is particularly pleasant to look at, in single colour paint jobs reminiscent of Ducatis but with far bolder lines. The larger version of the Daytona is currently absent from the Triumph range but on previous form lets keep our fingers crossed for a prompt return.
The most distinctive bike in the Triumph range, and the most envied by bikers and rival manufacturers alike has got to be the Speed Triple. A real bad-boy of a motorcycle, no matter what kind of lurid colour scheme Triumph's designers give (and there have been some shockers) it still manages to look down right mean. In the most recent redesigns of the model the exhaust silencers exit underseat and are very much on display - crying out to be upgraded for some aftermarket kit so the sound of the bike lives up to the looks.
