The Complete Book of Classic and Modern Triumph Motorcycles 1937-Today
Originally formed as a bicycle company in 1885, Triumph produced its first motorcycle in 1902, which was simply a bicycle fitted with a Belgian Minerva engine. From there, the company, in various iterations, went on to build some of the most iconic motorcycles of all time.
Written by respected Triumph expert Ian Falloon, this luxurious reference covers all of the major and minor models, with an emphasis on the most exemplary, era-defining motorcycles such as the Thunderbird, Tiger, Trophy, Bonneville, and new machines such as the Speed Triple, Thruxton, and Daytona 675.
Detailed technical specifications are offered alongside compelling photography, much of it sourced from Triumph's archives.
"The Complete Book of Classic and Modern Triumph Motorcycles 1937-Today" also features important non-production models and factory racing and speed-record-setting motorcycles that have become integral parts of Triumph's stellar reputation.

Triumph - Motorräder - seit 1945 (Typenkompass)
Triumph (founded in 1886) finally went bankrupt in 1983, and the second oldest motorcycle-producing brand in the world was on the verge of collapse. The trademark rights went to a British building contractor.
And what nobody had thought possible: The man had a heart for motorcycles, not just for real estate. In 1990, with a completely new company on the market, the success story of the new Triumph is just two decades old - and much more consistently successful than the old ones ever were.
