ACCORDING to Sir Alan Cathcart, Triumph are rumoured to be developing a new product for the 'opposite end of the spectrum' - a 350cc single-cylinder bike aimed at beginners.

Called the Street Single, the image above comes from an artist's impressive of how the bike could appear, the lower-capacity machine will be powered by a liquid-cooled, four-valve, single-cylinder engine, with displacement ranging from 267 to 350cc depending on where it's sold. Triumph are believed to be presenting the Street Single next year.

The speculation on Motorcyclist Online, comes from news out from Brazil's Motociclismo magazine that new bike will be assembled at Triumph's new factory in Manaus, Brazil, and built from kits produced at one of Triumph's Thai locations.

The bike woold be a clear rival for the KTM-Bajaj KTM Duke 350 in targeted markets in South Asia and a naked alternative to the Kawasaki Ninja 250 and Honda CBR250R if brought to Europe.

Sadly it will not be a real Triumph if built in Brazil as the ones build in Thailand aren't, finish is poorer than the UK built ones.
I've had 6 Hinkley Triumphs, latest one 2004 but won't get another, i loved the fact they were made in England, it was worth the slight premium they used to have.

I don't see what's wrong with this bike. I think there's a growing market for a bike that can more than keep up with traffic yet is not too powerful to be a licence-taker, whilst being very economical to run (and doesn't eat chains and tyres).

From my position on the south coast, commuting on the M27 every day, this would be a perfect bike for the 15 mile each way journey. Quick, efficient, cheap to run and still with the Triumph brand. I don't see it being made in Brazil as a problem. After all, to me, the only Triumphs that look like they've been made in England are the 'retro' bikes such as Bonnie and Scrambler. As long as quality control is up to scratch, and Triumph are sure to keep a close eye on this, it should be fine.
