Why oh why did Triumph move off shore to Thailand? My 1999 Trophy is made in the uk. Built like a tank

Excellent bikes. What John Bloors team achieved in the first wave of the new generation of triumph is truly remarkable. Total commitment to quality. I owned a First generation Tiger. My friend still has his Trophy 1200 that he's covered over 120000 miles on the clock.

My 1996 Triumph Trophy 900 is still running strong, which reflects the quality of these bikes.

Good footage, nice to see them being built. My 98 Trident still going strong alongside the T160, although the parts are easier to find for the older model.

On a 95 Sprint... going strong and still a blast!

Yes, nice vid. Ich bought one of the first TRIDENT here in Germany in 1991. And i was so happy with the bike for 7 years. At each service they changend everything what was not as well as it should be. They dit not ask me. When i took back my bike from the service they told me, by the way,: "Don´t be surprised because the fork/brakes/batterie/exhausts are new". At this time my friends who bought their Suzuki GSX 1100 G were crying und screaming because nobody was willing to listen to their shoutings, nobody was going to help them with ther complete rusty exhausts. I had seven good years with the bike and in 1998 i sold the bike: Because i married, then the children. Everybody knows the same story. I sold for a dreamprice. I received nearly 60% of what i hat given for the new bike. And now, 25 Years later, the children finished their studying. I have not longer to pay vor them, they left the house. My wife is still there (!!!) and she meant: It´s okay. So i surched once more and found her: Exactly the same bike. 1991er Trident. In red, not the green of early times. I bought the very best that i could find. I found "her" in the Netherlands. And each evening, before i go to sleep, i touch her wide body (the body of my bike is wide, the body of my whife stayed slim since 1996!!!) and say "good night" to her. I am glad to have her back. TRIUMPH is a little part of my life, since 1991, when i saw them the first time. (Excuse mir for ruiining your language!)

feels like only yesterday but, god do I look young in this film.

Great Vid ,am running a 93 Trident (silver/grey engine) and love it, the sound through 3 to 1's is fantastic, always get where I'm going with a big grin. thnx for posting

I LOVE Triumph motorbikes new AND vintage ever since they returned to American roads in the 90s, although they didn't REALLY start selling bikes in America again until 1994 due to American insurance liability issues.

This is a very nice look back into the rebirth of Triumph. Thank you.

Great bid. Proud to be an owner of a 95' Speed Triple 900!!! Old world engineering.... the best!! Thank you John Bloor.

Awesome Video ....couldn't wonder if I was looking at my bike being made . The Ol girl still runs sweetly and blows most bikes off still

love my '96 900

Enjoyed this. Will take possession of my 3rd Hinckley Triumph next week, a Trophy SE. Two previous bikes were Sprint STs - great experiences. First Triumph ride was a '76 Tiger demo - was hooked but didn't buy due to price and features.

I have the same engine (309) on my 1997 Trophy. Great engine, impossible to destroy. Running smoothly to this day, I still enjoy it a lot although it's conception is in early 90'. This video was great, Put more if U have.

As a triumph mechanic i see these old bikes every once and a while only tihng i hate about them is the carbs. Biggest issue is no one takes care of em and 20 years of gumdosent do the carbs any favors ,but other than that. They are rock solid. Long live the triumph.

Great video lads, long live Triumph!

Thanks for this video ...very very thanks !

I have a 72 Daytona and an 04 Bonneville (I’m in the middle of getting a 93 Trident. The standard of engineering is light years apart but the soul is the same…

I've go a 98 Trident 750 and apart from fork seals the bike is amazing. I used to own a 2011 speed triple and the weird thing is that my Trident gearbox is 10 times better, oh well thats progress for you

this makes a guy wanna buy one...

I own triumph tiger cub 1958.Love it

great video

@bezcz, it cant be, my Trident is!!!! The first batch with the spine frame, and carbs were the best. Everything they knock out these days are fuel injected ABS tarts handbags... great if you like that sort of thing.

I saw a tool kit included with the 1990s Triumphs. Why isn’t a tool kit included today?

Love my 900 Super3. Had it 14 yrs now. 43k and running as nice now as when i bought it. Are the new ones as good as the early t3's???

Wish I could get my carbs to go on that easy ! I run a 1993 Sprint, had it from new, two sprag clutches, and a carb rebuild. 70,000 miles.

i rode a new sprint recently and it feels most similar to a hinckley t3. are they as reliable as a t3? well we will see in 20 years ;).

lol, love it.

So this was 10 years before the factory burned down, right?? Does it look way different now or is it in the same spot? STREET TRIPLE FTW!!

My 20 year old Daytona plastic have the od crack I must have got a bad batch of these impact fairings do you think they will give me some new ones...lol

If God will next month, I´ll become a 1994 Sprint 900 proud owner.

I think I saw my bike

I have the 92 Daytona 1000 in red. Trying to get info on them is hard. Triumph won't acknowledge my emails. At least the bike is loads better than the customer service.

My Tiger is the best bike in the world!

this could never been done by the old triumph factory with only stubbern old farts without no idea how to run a good company and making good bikes! thanks god that hinckley took over and fixed it all :)

I am sad to see the old Triumph factory at Hinckley when the bikes where still made here in Britain A lot of people are blaming Triumph for off shoring the bikes to Thailand but it's this country or more to the point the three main political parties who have no interest in manufacturing, over the last 50 years Britain as become a graveyard for manufacturing and as a consequence this country is falling apart. Yes Triumph should keep some production here after all their products carry a premium price tag associated with Western made goods. But the problem lays with London centric solicitor politician who can't see past the M25

I'm on my 6th Triumph motorcycle. Keep crashing them.

Shame it's all gone to Thailand now.so sad the money grabbers call the shots now...

I look at 5 year old Triumps now covered in rust, no thanks, test rode a 800 twin! My first Triumph was a 1979 Bonnie, I have owned 5 Merredin 3 from new, 2 Hinckley, 900 and 1200 Daytona still, nothing made by Triumph now will ever find a place in my garage, heaps of shit! What happened to the manufacturing workers at Hinckley, I wonder!!@

Sounds like an early 80's cold war government video about the risks of nuclear attack. I have a 94 sprint from new and its still going strong.

Great footage, but John Bloor was an absolute bullying bastard in that era. He fired everyone that had too much knowledge (once the bikes were ready for production) or anyone that disagreed with him. Blood wanted a 4 cylinder motor to beat the Japanese and was eventually convinced to go with the 3 cylinder unit thanks to those such as John Rosamond. Great old footage but Bloor was a ruthless piece of work that treated his staff very poorly

A strange choice of music - Beethoven. Is this an ironic swipe at the German competition? I would have chosen Elgar, Walton, or even the Stone Roses!

nowt wrong with a set off breakers and twin leader

plastic triumph"s,god bless merriden rip.

me regalan una triumph o voy y mato a john bloor

Good bikes but no really Européeans !

I love Triumph but... damn this really sucks!!!!

What a complete pile. They can't cast their own engine components and just do a bit of machining of bought-in parts. Honda would be laughing if they saw this video. Certainly no threat to them. This is state of the ark.

FAKE TRIUMPHS
