Triumph has released their 06 sales figures, and they are steadily growing with over 10,000 bikes sold this past year. With a very cool line-up of bikes that include everything from the 675 Sportbike to the retro style Thruxton and Bonneville, they have been growing every year. The Auto Channel has a good article about Triumph with a little bit of history about the famous brand-
Triumph is one of the oldest and most famous names in motorcycling. The name dates back to 1885 when Siegfried Bettmann settled in Coventry and started selling bicycles. Triumph began building motorcycles in 1901, which makes it the oldest name in motorcycles.
Today, Triumph is a privately owned British company and it is the only British motorcycle brand still producing bikes today. Triumph’s main factory, located in Hinckley, Leicestershire, is the most modern motorcycle manufacturing facility in the world. This, together with its diverse model range and aggressive development program, places Triumph firmly at the forefront of motorcycling.
Triumph’s growth in recent years has been driven by innovative new products that set the British manufacturer apart from the competition. With ground-breaking models like the 2,300cc Rocket III cruiser, the stylish Sprint ST sports tourer and the Daytona 675 sport bike, Triumph offers consumers a broader product line than any other European road bike manufacturer. The Rocket III played a special role in Triumph’s growth as its unique design and industry-leading capacity generated significant consumer awareness.
