Fantastic video, thanks Alex and John. For those of us who live in Australia and can’t make this exhibition, you’ve provided a real treat.

Absolutely Brilliant! I still think the last of the pre unit Triumphs were the best-looking bikes. I had a few and rebuilt plus customized a number. Having said that, I also bought one of the 2008, modern Bonneville's and rode it through parts of Canada and the USA. Beautifull motorcycle, ultra reliable and never leaked a drop of oil or missed a beat on my travels. I would certainly buy another one without hesitation.😀😀😀😀.

fantastic knowledge of the history of Triumph, i was only aware of a fraction. my first motorcycle was a Tiger Cub, bought in boxes, but the colour was Olymipic Flame and in the UK. It wasn't road reg'd so no idea of the history. fascinating, thank you.

I will have to visit Hinkley if I get back to the UK. I was a Triumph mechanic in Calgary Canada for 10 yrs at Blackfoot motosports. Have owned a 67 T 100 R. 98 tbird sports . 98 t595. 2001 speed triple 2001 trophy 900. I flatracked a 68 T 100 R. The 67 was the most problematic of any bike owned

Lovely bikes! My 73 Triumph Hurricane reminds me of what things could have been like with a more enlightened management team ( even if it is actually the last BSA).

Can't recommend the Triumph Factory Visitor Experience highly enough. A great day out, try and go on a week day when the factory is working and book a tour in advance.

they are indeed beautiful my only problem with uni-construction is that they dropped the magneto ... what's the first thing the racing guys do ? ...put a magnito on it ...! but as far as looks go they nailed it

They put my 2004 Sprint to shame. Would love an old Triumph.

Wow, just amazing bikes! I wish I could be there! I wish even more I could toodle a couple of them about in the lot, just to keep the oil flowing, you know. With that kind of history and bona-fide museum showcase in Hinckley of Triumphs, it puzzles me even more why post-1991 Triumph is so confused with their naming conventions of new models?? The 2001 T100 should've been the 2001 T120. The 2020 T120 should be the 2020 T140. And how did the Thunderbird model name ever wind up on a 3-cylider motorcycle?? The 2006 Scrambler 900 s model should've been called the 2006 TR9 Trophy. And don't get me started with what they've put the "Tiger" name on. LOL !! The Tigers were "street rod" standards in 2 sizes of twin. Not 3 cylinder adventure bikes! The new Triumphs confuse me with how they name them. The Thunderbird and Speed Twin were always 2 sizes of mildly tuned touring twins. The Bonneville and Daytona were 2 sizes of the most "hot rod" twins. And the Trophies were the scrambler models.

My god ! You guys have changed-History by proving that Triumph cracked Time-Travel . They went forward In-Time , copied a 2000 Kawasaki W650 and changed-it just-slightly...so that no-one would know . Brilliance ! Dave nz

Ironically , when i was a boy I met Tim Gibbes on a few occasions with my Brother-in-Law Ian , whose brother Glen (Wroblenski/Robins) worked for Tim as a British-bike Mechanic and Motocross (Scrambles ) rider . Glen held the 500cc-Title for a year or two before Morley-Shirrifs took it .Dave nz

Nonsense, the Kawasaki 650 was originally a BSA A7 designed engine made under license from BSA, but with some of Modera improvements.
