We're Now Taking Deposits on 2009 SpeedTriples and StreetTriples

2008 Triumph Global Dealer Meeting
Sunday, July 20:
The 2009 motorcycle line has just been shown to the worldwide network of Triumph dealers at the Global Dealer Meeting here in Birmingham, England, currently in session. 2009 changes and
updates add to the diversification of the Triumph brand, especailly with the 2010 Thunderbird shown today as well. Although the details are 6 months away from finalization, the 2010
Thunderbird is indeed a 98 cubic inch (1,600cc) vertical twin. And while it's a cruiser in style, the chassis geometry suggests excellent handling. No MSRP has been set for any country.
Production is slotted to start in the summer of 2009.
The new 2009 StreetTriple R features 3 way adjustable front forks and rear shock, plus radial front brake calipers and taper style bars. The Matte Graphite colour is a stunner.
After three years of winning comparison tests, the Daytona 675 gets 3 extra HP for 2009, mono-block front brake calipers and a new fairing & face. Absolutely superb upgrades to an already excellent motorcycle.
The 2009 Scrambler comes in Gloss Black or Matte Kahki Green. The bike photographed has an Arrow exhaust. Really cool. The Bonneville line has gone through changes as well.
All now have EFI. The Thruxton now has ace style handlebars that are just what the bike needed, I think. We'll be stocking this handlebar for Bonneville owners looking for something lower
than stock Bonneville bars, yet higher than clip-ons. Our Absolute Bonnevile Rambler delivery bike needs these. The T100 remains the same, and a limited production 50th Anniversary
Bonneville will compliment the line, but only 650 of the 50th will be created to commemerate the 650cc size of the original 1959 Bonnie. This means something like one per dealer in the world,
but deposits will actually determine which dealers get one or not. We've already sold ours.
Quantity 650 is the guaranteed number. Less than 20 in Canada. The new for 2009 Bonneville SE has 17" cast wheels replicating late seventies, early eighties wheels, a lower seat, new
exhaust and a new front brake rotor. The 2009 MSRP will be announced in November for all these bikes. This is a fantastic range of motorcycles. An interesting point was made at this meeting
regarding annual worldwide production vs. the heydays of the 1950 - 1960 Triumph motorcycles. Triumph is now producing more motorcycles today than any year in its history; thus, this is
the new Golden Age for Triumph.

Triple Powered Triumph Wins Three Years in a row!
May 9, 2008 -Triumph Motorcycles (America) announces that the Triumph's class-leading Daytona 675 has set another landmark by becoming the first motorcycle to win the prestigious Supertest trophy three years in a row.
Supertest is an annual event organised by 15 leading motorcycle magazines in the world with representation from Europe, Asia and the Americas. Each publication sends a test rider to the circuit, with each bike being scored on its best lap times and rider feedback. The Triumph remains unbeaten in the competition, having won each year since its introduction for the 2006 model year.
The British-built three-cylinder machine staved off competition from its supersport-class rivals at the Almeria circuit in southern Spain. The Triumph set faster lap times than the four-cylinder machines from the Japanese manufacturers which, combined with the testers' favorable comments, gave the Daytona 675 a clear advantage.
"Winning the title three years in a row is quite an achievement," commented Triumph's Commercial Director Tue Mantoni. "Our bike has proven itself against two generations of Japanese competition and is a great testament to our design and engineering teams. Our philosophy is to build motorcycles that are class leading, while remaining distinctively Triumph. Strong sales figures and winning comparison tests like Supertest are confirmation that our bikes are striking the correct chord with riders, and continue to motivate us in developing more new and exciting products for the coming years."
