After a couple of years of fiddling with her Honda NightHawk 750 and trying to get it to be the she needs, my wife has decided to give it up and now will be moving to a 2000 Triumph Trophy 1200. :) It's not a Rocket, for sure, but they are very fast and she'll have all the luggage room she...
These are the first spy photos to reveal the final look of Triumph's new 2.3 litre tourer based on the Rocket III.

Maybe we could all go in together.
I don't have much experience with Triumph dealers. Do you feel you are treated well? Am I stupid to even think about having my valves checked in the spring? :rolleyes:
My dealers are an hour plus away.
With Harley's grip on Kansas City, fueled my a huge plant, it seems Triumph bike week 2007 is going right by us. WOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHH.......:eek:

Triumph in 2008
By: Tor Sagen/CG’s: Robert O’Brien
Triumph in the immediate future is all about fuel injected parallel twins, a new naked triple middleweight, Rocket III luxury tourer and big bore parallel twins. A bit further ahead than all that we might just see that elusive litre plus...

SPRINT ST WINS ENDURANCE TEST

I was very surprised to see the usually conservative Triumph has come out with some pretty substantial race components for the 675, including cams, valve springs and ECU for purchase through dealers. I think that is a pretty good sign, since that is something usually only the big four jap...
Hello all,
As most know my Rocket came in last week, now I also ride a Harley but let me do some comparisons between Harley and Life Cycle:
When I picked up my Harley Road King in 2003, it was filthy, the pillion seat was about ready to fall off, the pet cock was so look it could be...

Let's raise a glass to the survivors: bikes that, against all odds, are still with us, still running after all these years, as if blessed by some supernatural mechanical momentum.
After a few decades of riding, a number...
I opened my mailbox today and in it was a little envelope from Triumph, and I was sure it was a nice little corporate Christmas card. When I got in the house and opened it I was surprised to find a slick little brochure entitled "Modern Classics" that is trying to push the entire line of...
