How Triumph Motorbikes Are Made

They make an awesome sportbike... 675cc triple cylinder

 

I had the 2002 Daytona 955i triple cylinder sport bike. Very nice and competitive with the Yamaha R1 of the same year (except about 30lbs heavier). It was actually very reliable, no problems or leaks.

 

The problem was the next year the Japanese bikes went up about 30 horsepower and Triumph didn't respond (mine was 147hp). I lightened the bike, revalved/resprung the suspension and had an underseat exhaust that sounded awesome with the triple cylinder motor. But that want for more horsepower was calling.

 

Last year I decided it was either a dedicated track bike, a new Ducati 1098s, or a fast car to play with. Well, the track bike would sit too much, the Ducati would always have me worrying about dropping it (my reflexes aren't the same as I'm not getting any younger..) so I started looking at cars and saw the 7s.

 

Brian's finishing off my ultralite and should be getting a call to pick it up any day now. Can't wait!
