i owned a 1968 t120 Bonneville back in the day . no comparison . it vibrated ,leaked oil .used oil . engineering has come on a long way since then . your looking through rose tinted goggles .

i agree with you my R3R 2014 was made in Hinkley however production to Thailand was necessary to cut costs and make the bikes more affordable plus reach Southeast asia markets. I am told the QC- quality control at that thailand location is 2nd to none and even better than hinkley

Royal Enfield are coming on leaps and bounds . well done to them .

What is the point?

Couldn't agree more ... Great bikes - Wonderful rides ... Who gives a s _ _ t where they are made in ... especially as they are running flawless ... ;)

Except Ava Adore was released about 11 years after Sting's "Straight To My Heart". 😉 But, yes, they absolutely share a few melodic bars. 😊

English comment? I love her voice.

@@annereuter2630 obviously marvellous

That Thruxton is an outstanding bike. I looked at one yesterday

For Scramblers

My wife is Thai, and half of every year I live in Thailand, so I know a few things about life here. Workers in Asia are not paid the same as the ones in Europe or USA. In most of the Asian countries (including Thailand) salaries are much lower, but of course not as low as in China for example. I guess this is the first thing that companies take into consideration before they decide where to build a factory. And I don't really see why this is a bad thing. When a worker in -let's say- Triumph factory is paid with the average worker's salary in Thailand, why he should be unhappy with it. In my country (Greece) that we have no heavy industry at all, it would be a blessing if some companies wanted to establish factories and give jobs to some thousands of people, but they don't do it, cause average salary is a lot higher than average Asian, and that's the main reason they choose Asian countries. Now back to Triumph Thailand workers, some of them (very few) are proud owners of Triumphs, but most of them are riding Japanese scooters, from brands that also have factories in Thailand, as most Thai people do (every family has 2-3-4 of these) and mainly because Triumph does not produce small motorcycles at all.

Looks like a great place to work.

the workers look as if they care .

Lol....britain have too high cost...very rare machines was made in england.... ....even just a bicycle!...(just walk dude!....lol)many part made in other countries!.... And even if its made in England.....the ppl made its mostly...indian or arab that live in england....lol (And i bet most of em name Mohammed!....😝)

@@kewintaylor7056 1st of all if it was so expensive to make in the UK then why do they still make some models, and of course Triumph is a British brand so why should they be made elsewhere. 2nd no manufacturer can claim to make a product from 100% home grown materials, 3RD no most of the the workers are not going to be of Asian or Arab origin you fucking idiot.

@HarleyFirestorm My wife is Thai and I visited this factory to buy some spare parts for my Bonnie, as I thought I would find them cheaper there. They all laughed at me and asked me if I'm crazy. "You live in Europe and you want to buy parts from here ? Here we just ASSEMBLE the motorcycles. All parts are imported from Europe and are a lot more expensive here" Everybody knows that ALL Brands of cars and motorcycles have factories in countries where they can find cheaper employees. BMW in Turkey, Poland, Ukraine a.o., Honda in Malaysia and Indonesia, VW in Brazil, India, China, Slovakia a.o. etc etc etc. So ? Why you bother especially with Triumph ? And please ... do not use vulgar and inappropriate words. All such comments will be banned

@@11geko11 Well I haven't used vulgar words against you or your wife being Thai is of no bearing to me and I quite struggle to find the reason you would bring this up. Triumph is a British brand, I couldn't care less where other brands produce their motorcycles, however when I bought my Harley Davidson I would NOT buy one NOT made in America, Triumph save money by opening plants elsewhere and you know what its their business so they can do what they like, but its also my right to say Triumph are not a British brand anymore as they produce off shore and part of the reason I would buy a Triumph would be because its British, so its my right to with hold my hard earned money and not spend it on a Triumph that doesn't put my money in the pockets of British workers.

@@HarleyFirestorm .... really. get over it dude! Harley is opening a plant there to be able to compete and stay alive. Now if they would only start making bikes that would appeal to the next generation rather than old white guys, that would help even more.

Yet the bikes although good aren't exactly cheap

Triumph cynically sells the "British Bike Heritage", then makes the bikes in Asia. Pocket the outsized profits, and undermine British workers at the same time. All of the companies that are engaged in this practice, and there are many, are engaged in economic treason. I wouldn't pay them 2 cents for one of their bikes, just on the principle alone.

Depends on which 3 cylinders... Street Triple = Thaïland Speed Triple = England You can see some Street Triples in the video.

Street Triples at 8:15 ans 9:19

Your Speed Triple 955 wasn't made in Thailand. It was made in Hinckley, Leicestershire. The twin-cylinder models are made in Thailand.
