As one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in the industry, Triumph has a lustrous history of making truly beautiful and top-performing motorcycles. However, just like other brands, not all motorcycles that come off the production line are winners. There was a time when Triumph lost favor with American riders. However, the company has made great strides in building its presence in the American market over the last few years. Sure, there will always be a place in our hearts for the Daytona, but its era has passed, and it's time to look toward the future.
10 Roadster: Speed Triple - $18,895
The Triumph Speed Triple is a naked roadster that will give you plenty of power with a touch of the throttle. This sporty motorcycle is responsive and agile, making it the perfect companion for tackling the most challenging twisties. There are two Speed Triples in the Triumph lineup, the 1200 RR and the 1200 RS. Both bikes have a 1160cc engine, ride-by-wire throttle, and plenty of technology. The legacy of these bikes started in 1994 with the original hooligan. Triumph then updated the motorcycle in 2001 with the RS and then again in 2021 with the addition of the RR.
9 Cruiser: Rocket 3 - $23,400
The Triumph Rocket 3 boasts the largest mass-production engine at 2500cc. Thankfully, the bike isn’t just pure unbridled power. Triumph engineers manage to harness that power for refined, responsive power. Several models in the Rocket 3 lineup are sure to impress: the R, R221 Special Edition, Chrome Edition, GT Chrome Edition, GT, and GT221 Special Edition. So slip into the saddle and take a cruise down the road. The Rocket 3’s unique deep-throaty growl will turn heads before you even arrive. Sitting on it, you will quickly realize it isn’t like a traditional cruiser, but a muscle roadster with a more leaned forward riding position.
8 Scrambler: Speed Twin 1200 - $9,695
The tank of the Triumph Speed Twin may look like it has a huge dent in it, but that unique shape is purposeful. Those dents perfectly cradle your knees so that your legs can tuck in tight against the bike. This gives you a more secure riding position for increased bike maneuvering confidence. Having this confidence is a must when your bike has a 1200cc engine. Triumph engineers tuned the engine to have plenty of mid-range power, greater peak power, and high-compression pistons. What makes the Scrambler worth considering is beyond its performance ability, though. There are elegant, luxurious touches throughout, including premium brushed metal features, lustrous paint, and quilt stitching on the seat.
7 Café Racer: Thruxton - $16,995
The Triumph Thruxton is like a love letter to vintage café racer motorcycles. It embodies more than just the classic looks. Sure, it has the low set handlebars, low stance, and long flat line from the tank to the seat. However, it also comes expertly tuned for nimble handling and aggressive performance. There are two Thruxton models offered by Triumph, the RS and the RS Chrome Edition. The RS features a modern take on the classic color schemes, while the Chrome addition is just that. You sit slightly leaned forward with the 1200cc engine firmly planted between your legs for maximum control and stability.
6 Cruiser: Bonneville Bobber - $13,495
Brutal beauty is the term Triumph uses to describe the Bonneville Bobber. The bike's tough stance hides how fun it is to ride. Sit in the small seat that practically floats over the bike and twist the throttle. You can’t help but smile as the 1200cc high torque engine growls to life. The smooth acceleration is paired with a soft suspension and large tires. This gives you the ultimate in cruising comfort. In addition, modern technological features seamlessly integrate so as to improve your riding experience without taking away from the gritty, tough guy looks. For example, the LED headlight and push button cruise control go unnoticed but enhance the ride.
5 Adventure: Tiger Explorer - $9,695
Venture out into the great unknown on one of the rugged bikes from the adventure Tiger series. Rounding out the Triumph Tiger lineup are the Sport 660, 850 Sport, 900 GT Range, 900 Rally Range, 1200 GT, and 1200 Rally.

There is also an extensive category of accessories for kitting out your bike.
4 Roadster: Trident - $8,595
As a part of the naked roadster lineup next to the Speed Triple and Street Triple, the Triumph Trident 660 is a well-balanced bike. The low-end torque and high-end power give you plenty of strength and responsiveness to have a fun ride. The rider positioning is more relaxed, making this an ideal bike for someone wanting a commuter or everyday rider. The narrow shaping through the saddle and leg positioning instills confidence, allowing for more aggressive riding. The design of the Trident is muscular and full of attitude, with aggressive leg cutouts in the tank and bold pops of color throughout the naked styling.
3 Scrambler: Scrambler 1200 - $11,495
This is the bike for riders who want to have some off-road fun but don’t want to ride a dirt or dual sport bike. The Triumph Scrambler 1200 features a long and wide seat with plenty of plush support for riding on uneven terrain. The handlebars are moved back, giving you a more upright riding position, which increases stability and rider confidence. The large suspension easily absorbs every bump and rut, helping it give you a more comfortable and enjoyable experience. This isn’t just an off-road bike, though. It sports beautiful styling that makes the bike worthy if also riding on the street.
2 Cruiser: Bonneville T120 - $10,995
The Triumph Bonneville T120 is quintessentially British. When you think of Triumph, this is the bike most people think of, even if they can’t put a name to it. There is a super wide and plush seat with plenty of extra space for two riders. The handlebars are straight and wide, supporting prominent mirrors that stick out like antennas. Swing a leg over and have your date hop on the back. This is the bike you take for a cruise through the city on date night.
