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.
