Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 - The Complete Story

The Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3, both three-cylinder motorcycles, were developed to rival Honda's upcoming 750 cc model. Initially, they struggled to compete - while fast, they lacked refinement and their unconventional styling turned off many buyers, leading to a decision to halt production.
However, a comeback began, and in 1971, the factory racing team had a successful year, including a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finish at the Daytona 200.

This book, featuring over 250 photographs, tells the complete history of these bikes, including:
- Their development, with a timeline of key events
- A year-by-year account of the bikes' evolution, from the T150 and T160 to the Rocket 3
- The story of the Hurricane
- A full racing history
- The legacy of Triumph's three-cylinder motorcycles today
This comprehensive work offers a detailed and exciting look at these iconic bikes and their place in motorcycle history.

Triumph Trident - The Best Production Racer Ever

The Triumph Trident was a ground-breaking three-cylinder 750cc motorbike that was ahead of its time, though pipped to the production post by the Honda CB750 Four. It was also the last major motorcycle project by Triumph.

In this thoroughly researched and comprehensive book, Roy Maddox takes the reader through the full range of models, including the BSA Rocket 3, the Meridien and the A75 Hurricane, as well as the technical changes that took place and the range of specials and one-offs.
The book also includes a buyer's guide with owners' feedback and modifications as well as details of owners' clubs and events.

As this book reveals, the Triumph Trident T150 was a milestone in British and world motorcycle design that also achieved huge success on the racing track. As it reaches the fiftieth anniversary of its launch, the Triumph Trident T150 is as appreciated today by its many owners and enthusiasts as it was in its heyday.
