Best of British Triumph charts the turbulent and rich history of one of the world's best-known motorcycle manufacturers, with examinations of every significant bike that contributed to the Triumph story.
That story takes us back more than 100 years, to the time when a couple of German immigrants settled in Coventry and began manufacturing bicycles. Fitting a motor to one of their bicycles was the obvious step once the internal combustion engine had become established, and so the first Triumph motorcycle puttered its way around the leafy lanes of Warwickshire in 1905.
This DVD traces the history of the marque from that historic first bike, filmed in the National Motorcycle Museum, to the launch of the 2009 Street Triple R. For a full seven decades, Triumph enjoyed success after success, then disaster struck as the original company collapsed - along with the rest of the British bike industry. However, during those first 70 years Triumph motorcycles had become among the best known with truly iconic models like the Speed Twin, the Tiger 100, the Thunderbird and the Bonneville. Such was the reputation, the Triumph name refused to die.
Enthusiast Les Harris, under license from the brand name owners, kept the legend alive making small batches of Bonneville twins in his little factory in Devon. In the 1980s, salvation arrived in the form of British businessman John Bloor, who combined his capital with the goodwill Triumph still enjoyed, to resurrect the marque. Thanks to good designers, managers and enthusiastic production workers, Triumph is back on the world stage, competing against rivals from Japan, Germany and the USA.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- The Rocket Three - The world's biggest motorcycle, a 'power cruiser' with an engine bigger than most family cars!

[arcanacelestia]

This guy rides like a kid who just stole a bike.

[mrmatkilgore]

That was the most awkward thing I've ever seen

[TheGregg1969]

Why hang off the bike like a monkey when you're riding so slow. By trying to make the ride exciting you've made it look silly. However I do understand that your speed was limited by the film-vehicle. Get a biker to film you next time!

I love my Triumph, but that just made the bike look dull......

Wish I hadn't bothered watching it to the end!!!

[deadflagbluesxxx]

I had messed around with a friends worked street triple and the thing was the nastiest beast I'd ever ridden. Power wheelies through the first 3 gears and all sorts of gnarlyness.

[martini5470]

my dad has the speed triple which can do 0-100 in something like 3 seconds, id like to see how much youd have to pay for a car to do that.
