Valerie Singleton on Triumph
By mark forsyth on 25/08/2010 11:30:16
Or rather, on the struggles of Meriden Triumph
To think this was all going on when Suzuki were producing the GS1000S and Yamaha were just about to launch the 350LC. And how similar does that prototype 900cc engine look to the first Hinkley/Bloor Triumphs? You've got to feel for the workers, you

Triumph riding experience
By Mark Forsyth on 26/04/2010 17:10:30
Mr Forsyth samples a day of track riding and tuition on a Triumph 675
Just got back from a sunny Silverstone where we’ve been given the chance to sample Triumph’s Riding Experience. Very nice it was, too.It’s not a track day. That’s what track days are for. And while you do get two twenty five minute sessions

Milan Show: Triumph pig-out
By mark forsyth on 02/11/2010 13:36:04
Modified Triumphs a plenty
The EICMA Show in Milan runs a fantastic custom section, with a hall stuffed to the rafters with all sorts of stuff from mild to wild, tasteless to tasteful.It seems that the Italians love their Triumphs - these are some of our favourites...

They might be giants: Triumph Tiger & Benelli Tre K
By Mark Forsyth on 29/07/2010 09:54:59
It’s a bit like meeting a TV star for the first time, they’re never quite as big as they appear on screen. Say hello to the Triumph Tiger and Benelli Tre K. They’re both big, but which is the best?
-overhead camshafts, fuel injection and six speed boxes with wet, multi-plate clutches. There the similarities stop. In terms of personalities, they couldn’t be much more diametrically opposed.Turn the virtual page for the Triumph Tiger

Ridden: Triumph Thruxton review
By mark forsyth on 04/07/2012 14:54:04
Forward to the past
bike for people who aren’t interested in speed at all. A bike to chug around on during balmy summer evenings. A bike to engage random strangers in totally predictable conversations.‘Have you restored that yourself lad? I used to have a Triumph in…’ etc

First Ride: 2012 Triumph Speed Triple review
By mark forsyth on 28/05/2012 14:00:38
Warp-Speed TT Triple
It’s not often you get to do a quick roads-open TT lap with a seven times winner. Or even two laps. But that’s where I found myself last month. Sat astride a brand new Triumph Speed Triple, in the Isle of Man with a patchy-damp surface and brand new

First Ride: Triumph Tiger 1050 SE review
By Mark Forsyth on 02/04/2012 14:05:34
Catching the ten-fifty from Hinckley
The moment I tell you that you need a Triumph Tiger in your life you’re probably going to stop reading. Right?After all, it’s not a latest sports bike, it’s unlikely to lap Brands Hatch Indy in under fifty seconds and its top speed and quarter mile

First Impressions: 2011 Triumph Speed Triple
By Mark Forsyth on 13/10/2010 11:45:38
MF reports in with his first impressions of latest Speed Triple from Circuit Ascari
about how important the Speed Triple is to Triumph in terms of sales. They've sold 65,000 of them since its inception in 1994. Big numbers when the factory are still to crack the half million sales mark.They haven't f@cked it up. Far from it.It may
