Here's Why The Triumph Triple Engine Is Pure Perfection

Dmitry Pavlovsky — Sun, 14 May 2023 15:30:19 GMT

Beware of the motorcycle rider that tells you that Triumph builds nothing but boring, unreliable retro bikes, for they know not of what they speak. They must have it confused for some other (former) British brand. Sure, it may be true that when John Bloor revived the manufacturer in the early 1980s, he'd inherited a rusty, outdated mess. The British motorcycle industry took quite the beating in the decades prior, from the much more competitive, reliable, and cheap Japanese motorcycles like the Honda CB750. But Bloor had his eyes firmly set on the future, and when he finally had his modern manufacturing facilities, engineers, and designers squared away, he fired off a shot that reverberates in the motorcycle industry to this day.

Why The Triumph Tiger 900 Is Underrated

Jonathan Hayner — Mon, 01 May 2023 13:00:16 GMT

Triumph is one of the most famous and esteemed motorcycle manufacturers in the world, yet some of their models undeservedly fly under the radar. It seems almost unfathomable that arguably Britain’s most famous bike company would have any underrated, underappreciated bikes, yet they do.

Here Are The Best Triumph Motorcycles Ever Made

Harry Fisher — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 14:00:18 GMT

Is there a name more evocative of motorcycling than Triumph? The company was founded in the late 1800s by a German immigrant who initially went into the bicycle business and who, by 1902, produced its first motorcycle. Triumph survived both world wars to enjoy its most significant period from the late 40s to its eventual demise in the 70s. Many of the models are the very epitome of the British motorcycle.

The Triumph 350cc Motorcycles Finally Have A Launch Date

Punya Sharma — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 14:00:17 GMT

Spy shots of Triumph’s entry-level motorcycles (built alongside India’s Bajaj Auto) caused a stir in the two-wheeler community last year, and a similar feat followed with the latest spy shots. Yet, the British bikemaker has said little on the matter, let alone give us an idea about its launch. Now, however, we finally know the 350-400cc roadsters will debut in a little over two months, as revealed by Bajaj Auto’s CEO, Rajiv Bajaj.

Latest Spy Shots Of Triumph’s 350cc Scrambler Reveal Juicy Details

Punya Sharma — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 13:30:17 GMT

Tying up with Asian bikemakers to introduce entry-level motorcycles seems to be the ongoing trend. MV Agusta did it, Harley-Davidson did it, and Triumph is on course to join the club soon. We say this because the British giant is readying a baby scrambler, built alongside India’s Bajaj Auto, which has been spied on the latter’s home turf. The new spy shots reveal some fresh details missing from the previous sighting of the entry-level Triumph naked last year.

Top 10 Over-800cc Adventure Bikes

Harry Fisher — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 14:00:18 GMT

For a good few years, the Adventure segment of the motorcycle market has been the big-ticket model for every manufacturer in the world. It’s easy to see why. Adventure bikes are several motorcycles rolled into one. They can tackle any road, with agility, comfort and speed. No matter your brand loyalty, there is an adventure bike with your name on it. Even Harley-Davidson has gotten in on the fun. But for those of us who prefer larger bikes, with bigger displacements and deluxe features, some are built better than others. And if you're taking on the world on two wheels, nothing short of the very best will do.

Punya Sharma — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 12:30:18 GMT

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is an annual event to raise awareness of men’s mental health and prostate cancer. It began in 2012, soon joined by Triumph Motorcycles as an official partner in 2014. This partnership will turn 10 this year, and it’s only fair Triumph celebrates the feat with a special motorcycle. Doing just that, the British bikemaker has unveiled the 2023 Bonneville T120 Black Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) limited edition. Only 250 units will go on sale, each ripe with several special touches.

10 Things You Need To Know About The Triumph Daytona Moto2 765

Harry Fisher — Sun, 26 Mar 2023 16:01:17 GMT

Traditionally, Triumph has always shied away from building dedicated racing models, arguing that it has little to do with production models and it diverts important finances away from models that actually make money for the company. That philosophy lasted throughout the glory years of the British motorcycle industry from the 1930s through to the 1970s, and then in the modern era from 1990 onwards. Then, in 2018, Triumph announced it would be the engine supplier for the Moto2 World Championship from 2019 onwards. While this stopped short of producing an actual racing motorcycle, it signalled a shift in policy for Triumph and, luckily for the man in the street, gave rise to the glorious Daytona Moto2 765 limited edition road motorcycle.

Top 10 Touring Motorcycles On The Market

Dmitry Pavlovsky — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 14:00:18 GMT

As the saying goes, any motorcycle is an adventure motorcycle. And truth be told, you can pretty much "tour" on any bike. If you dig deep enough, you'll find cases of people taking their Honda Trail125 on the Trans American Trail! Take THAT, BMW.

10 Greatest Triumph Motorcycles Ever Made

Dmitry Pavlovsky — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 14:00:16 GMT

When you think of British motorcycles, chances are you could probably name a few brands off the top of your head. They were that influential and important. There's Vincent, Norton, BSA, Brough Superior and even Royal Enfield at one time. But no other brand represents the success and perseverance of the British motorcycling spirit quite like Triumph does.

Dr. Banner From Tamarit Motorcycles Doesn’t Get Angry… It Goes Fast

A Closer Look At The New Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition

Dmitry Pavlovsky — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 13:00:17 GMT

In 2017 news got out that Honda was pulling out of Moto2. Fast-forward to 2019, and Triumph was there to replace Honda's 600cc four-cylinder with their new 765cc three-cylinder engine. And it has proven to be fertile ground for the British manufacturer to test the performance and reliability of the triple. At the same time, it's crazy to think that for a manufacturer with so much racing pedigree, Triumph, has no bikes in the ultimate Motorcycle race: MotoGP. When asked if the motorcycle company would ever consider having a team, Triumph CPO Steve Sargent basically said 'nope'. And as amazing as it would be to see a Triumph team down at the MotoGP paddocks, fans will just have to settle for the Triumph engine being used in all the Moto2 bikes.

This Custom Triumph Scrambler Is The Ultimate Desert Sled

Dane Maricic — Thu, 23 Feb 2023 12:00:17 GMT

Since 2015, this Alicante-based shop has been exclusively transforming Triumph motorcycles into works of art. And the one in question, called Ongaku, definitely fits under that definition. In the past, scrambler motorcycles were meant to be used as rugged off-roaders, usually not associated with elegance and beauty. That is where Tamarit Motorcycles steps in.

10 Reasons Why The Triumph Scrambler 900 Is Great For Beginners

Alex Sheets — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 18:00:17 GMT

Triumph has a wide range of motorcycles, from sport bikes like the Speed Triple 1200 RS to adventure touring models like the Tiger 900; but one of their most iconic styles would definitely have to be their café racer style bikes. Triumph has been around in one way or another since 1902, but only as we know them today since 1983. Management under John Bloor since then marked a new era of productivity for Triumph as production woes were finally addressed. Japanese manufacturers set the standard in those days for efficient and high-quality production, so Bloor took a leaf out of their book and emulated their production practices. However, it wouldn't be until 2000 that profit broke even over the investment and operating costs until that point. Nonetheless, Triumph distinguishes itself by putting out a refined, quality product with a classic aesthetic. The Scrambler 900 in particular exemplifies those qualities while proving itself in every way as an approachable and versatile option for beginner riders.

This Triumph Bonneville Bobber By A Spanish Custom Company Is An Emerald "Gem"

Dane Maricic — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 18:32:17 GMT

Sure, you could just go to a dealership, buy a new motorcycle and take the easy road, but what if you want something that nobody else has? That’s where Tamarit Motorcycles comes in, and there aren’t many motorcycle customizers that could provide offerings like this workshop from Elche, Spain. Tamarit started customizing motorcycles back in 2015, specializing in Triumph models. So far, they built over 125 units in plenty of different styles, including a café racer, dirt track motorcycle, a brat style and a scrambler, with each being a one-off project. Their latest build is called Emerald, and it was based on a Triumph Bonneville, a very popular motorcycle for customizing. The inspiration behind this project, and its namesake, was the precious stone that stands out for its green color. Tamarit often uses gemstones as inspirations for its builds, and this Bonneville certainly stands out with its gorgeous design and striking hue.

Baak Transforms The Triumph Scrambler 1200 Into A Serious Off-Roader

Dane Maricic — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 14:30:16 GMT

Since 2012 when the company first opened the door of their garage in Lyon, France's Baak Motocyclettes has built an impressive resume of customized motorcycles. Their latest product is the 1200 Adventures, which radically changes a Triumph Scrambler to make it adventure ready. According to Baak Motocyclettes, “this bike is nowhere near the potential of the modern Adventure bikes as the core philosophy of this segment is miles away from what the Scrambler was made for. The idea here was not to make it a true Adventure bike but at least to tick some of the basic boxes that define that segment. With this in mind, the R&D team worked to solve some of the flaws of the Scrambler: lack of wind protection, average range, lack of high-end luggage”. In this case the function of the motorcycle stays in the center of the design process and dictates the form, and not the other way around. And this is a custom motorcycle built to be used and not stored in a garage.

Harry Fisher — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 00:00:17 GMT

10 Things You Should Know About The Triumph Rocket 3

Harry Fisher — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 16:30:17 GMT

Triumph doesn’t do things the usual way. When designing the original Rocket lll, the company was determined to have the largest production engine powering the new model and this led to the 2,294cc, inline three-cylinder engine we are now familiar with. The Rocket lll was excess on every level and gave Triumph an instant lead in the power-cruiser market. With the launch of the next generation Rocket 3 in 2019, that lead has been extended and now, three years later, Triumph shows no sign of losing that lead.

Top 10 Motorcycle Engines

Andra DelMonico — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 21:01:15 GMT

Motorcycle manufacturers like to reduce costs by using the same engine in more than one model. This allows them to reduce research, development, and manufacturing costs. The difference is how they tune the engine for performance. For example, you may have one bike the engineers tuned for high-speed track performance while another may have the ideal tuning for long-distance touring. Then some engines are innovative in design functionality, with the ability to outperform all other motorcycle engines on the road. These ten motorcycle engines are worth checking out for their performance and design qualities.

10 Things To Know About the Triumph Speed Twin 1200

Harry Fisher — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 20:00:17 GMT

Despite the original Triumph Speed Twin having less performance than the sporty Bonneville back in the 1960s, today the Speed Twin is the performance version of the Bonneville T120.

10 Best Motorcycle Color Schemes

Andra DelMonico — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 20:00:17 GMT

Look at pictures of motorcycles long enough, and you start seeing some obvious trends. One of the easiest trends to see is with the colors. Motorcycle manufacturers stay on brand by designing colorways that stick with their brand colors. That way, anyone that sees their bike roll by will immediately know who made the bike without much effort. This is an easy branding tool and one that all manufacturers use. However, it also makes for some pretty generic and run-of-the-mill colorways. For example, Suzuki is blue, Kawasaki is green, and Honda is red. Instead, these 10 bikes break free with some of the best motorcycle colorways of 2022.

10 Best Modern Classic Motorcycles Over 1000cc

Harry Fisher — Sun, 20 Nov 2022 20:00:16 GMT

While outright speed is not necessarily the idea behind the current crop of modern classic or retro motorcycles, that’s not to say that the manufacturers have foregone that element in the pursuit of styling excellence. Nor have they forgotten to make the motorcycles dynamically brilliant, providing the perfect blend of show and go. As with under-1000cc modern classic models, there is a wide choice of over-1000cc models to choose from, and the best of them are in this list.

This Triumph Daytona 650 Put 600cc Japanese Screamers In Their Place

Punya Sharma — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 08:45:16 GMT

When you think about Triumph, your mind instantly wanders off into a world full of three-cylinder motorcycles. After all, the company specializes in them and even makes the world’s biggest production engine on a motorcycle which too is a three-cylinder unit. However, before Triumph took this road, it followed the mass-market approach and fiddled around with the inline-four configuration. The first result was the TT600, which gave birth to the Daytona 600, ultimately leading to the Triumph Daytona 650 that gave the then-dominant Japanese 600cc screams a run for their money.

Andra DelMonico — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 13:00:15 GMT

Café racers are one of the first motorcycle designs to hit the motorcycle world, making their way to the U.S. from UK manufacturers. They gained popularity in the racing world for their ability to fly around the dirt track. There was a time when they were in top demand. Then, over time they fell out of favor.

10 Motorcycles With The Biggest Engines That You Can Buy In 2022

Andra DelMonico — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 13:00:15 GMT

When people set out to buy a motorcycle, they aren’t automatically looking for the biggest model on the market. There’s a different mindset for riders. The big bikes don’t have the same popularity as, say, the biggest trucks and SUVs on the market. Riders do not set out to find the bike with the biggest and most powerful engines. They don’t idolize the bikes with the heaviest weight or largest frame. That doesn’t mean that big bikes don’t have their place. If you’re looking to do some serious traveling or have a large body frame, shopping for the biggest bikes on this list is a chart decision.

Top 10 Greatest British Motorcycles in History

For 70 years, the British motorcycle industry led the world in terms of innovation, design, and manufacture of motorcycles, with literally hundreds of manufacturers turning out millions of motorcycles that were ridden all over the world. Some companies lasted only a few years but others were in business from the beginning in the early 1900s to the sad end of the industry in the early 1970s.

However, many others would become iconic, defining motorcycling in general and having an influence way beyond their production life.

Punya Sharma — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 10:30:54 GMT

Triumph has taken the wraps off its third consecutive James Bond-badged motorcycle, the Speed Triple 1200 RR Bond Edition, for 2023.
