I am not sure whether it is because of brand awareness but I feel that I see allot more Triumphs on the road nowdays.

Probably brand awareness Steven, I notice them more than other bikes too, as they say "There are non so blind as those who refuse to see !"


2008 figures were predicted to be good, it's the 2009 which will be the telling of who will survive !


Racing sponsors are already taking a hit !

Ride on !

But in the roadbike category (Triumph's only market segment) Triumph are sixth overall , first European & second non-Japanese manufacturer (after those strange, noisy, vibratory mean machines from the USofA ).

Keep it up Triumph!

It seems to be the nakeds that are doing it for them. The 675 isn't in the top ten for sportbikes eek, but the Speed Triple, Street Triple, and Bonnie are all there for naked bikes. And the Sprint is midpack in the Sports Touring.

Yes it's surprising the Daytona is not doing as well. But then it may just be a numbers thing given the class is all sports bikes not just 600s.

Kawasaki can't be happy with only 400 ZX10 sold compare to 1300 Fireblades and 900 R1s
