The Triumph Story
Racing and production models from 1932 to the present day, by  David Minton
Triumph, one of the world’s most famous motorcycle makes, has seen periods of great

restructuring of the company. The complex company history is told
here in full, from foundation through to its present-day resurgence.
 Early racing and the world’s first specifically designed GP motorcycle.
 All road and competition machines.
 The sale of the marque in the 1930s, Edward Turner’s arrival, the
revitalisation due to Bert Hopwood’s designs.
 Triumph motorcycles in the USA.
 Development for international competition – Daytona, Bonneville salt flats,
the Isle of Man TT and endurance racing on the Continent.
 Famous bikes including the ‘Trusty’, Tiger, 650 Thunderbird, Trident, 200cc
Cubs and 750 Bonneville.
