Triumph Motorcycles is one of the oldest brands of all in the history of such machines. It’s origins date back to the very first years of the last century at the dawn of two-wheel motorisation. This book covers the long, tormented history of the British marque, the years of its greatest splendour, followed by the various financial difficulties, the subsequent change of ownership through to the cessation of production itself. Today, though, Triumph is in excellent financial and productive health, firmly established in world markets and projected more than ever towards the future, well aware of its glorious past. To company matters are added profiles on the people who have contributed to writing this history: businessmen, designers and racers. And there is no lack of races, the innumerable victories, the various speed records achieved on the Bonneville salt lake flats, which later gave their name to Triumph’s most famous model, a real two-wheel icon. The book is complete with a systematic cataloging of all the production and racing models, including the scooter and military motorcycles, the pride of Her Majesty’s forces, all with indispensible technical specifications.
