Product Description
The full story of the great British motorcycle marque begins with its genesis at the turn of the century and continues through its demise, the resurrection of the Triumph name, and its current success. The complex story is related in an entertaining style accompanied by informative sidebars and, of course, marvelous photos of the motorcycles themselves. In addition to examining classic road bikes like the Tiger, 650 Thunderbird, Trident, 200cc Cubs, and 750 Bonneville, motorcycle journalist and multiple Triumph owner David Minton explains the development of Triumph bikes for the U.S. market and for competition at Daytona, Bonneville, the Isle of Man, and elsewhere. Minton also looks at today's machines and prospects for the future, and profiles legendary designer Val Page and Bert Hopwood, the man who revitalized Triumph's image in the 1930s.
