I have the only 2 available.........the Triumph and the Haynes. The triumph is about $80 and it plain blows. There is only one thing good about it..........it has exploded views which the Haynes doesn't. The Haynes is $25, or in other words LESS than 1/3 the price of the triumph manual and is infintaly better. Granted, there are times when the triumph one can come in handy because of the exploded views or on detials that neither touches on well but one may mention something that help you come a little closer to what you're trying to figure out than the other. But if you can only have one w/o a doubt the Haynes. It's information goes way above and beyond the triumph manual.

The big difference between teh Triumph shop manual and the Haynes is the pictures. The Triumph is drawn pictures while the Haynes is photographs.
I have both and they are both useful for their own methods. Good to have two opinions and techniques as well.
