Beginning life in 1887 as a bicycle manufacturing company, The Triumph Cycle Company went on to become today's Triumph Motorcycles Limited. Since motorcycle production commenced in 1902, the Triumph factory has produced thousands of classics designs and is regarded as being producers of some of the world's finest motorcycles, from the original Bonneville in 1959 to today's models. The Triumph name is one of the most enduringly popular names in motorcycling. It is an evocative title, one that conjures up all sorts of powerful imagery while the word itself - triumph - literally means to win. What a great name with which to christen your product. Triumph the motorcycle maker has for the most part in its 100-plus years been a success story; a triumph, in fact. The idea of this book is to celebrate, through a selection of images, that success story.
