Triumph Trident 750 `71 as 3D large model

Triumph Motorcycles ltd is the name of a motor vehicle manufacturer in the town of Hinckley in Great Britain. Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. mainly manufactures motorcycles, mostly under the Triumph brand name. Their most famous series is the Triumph Bonneville. It dates back to 1955 and is now considered one of the classics in English motorcycle history.

With the advent of Japanese superbikes, particularly the CB 750 Four in 1968, Triumph Engineering Co Ltd. in trouble. Timid attempts by the engineers to adapt to the situation were viewed by the top management as treason and immediately suppressed. In the early 1960s, for example, there were already plans for the 1969 three-cylinder Triumph Trident engine with a displacement of 750 cc. However, they were initially held back under pressure from then boss Edward Turner. When the machine came onto the market in 1969, despite modern technology and an output of 60 bhp (45 kW), it was unable to match the success of the earlier models.

The Japanese entered the American market and began poaching the managers of the British distributors. The prototype of a 1000 cm³ four-cylinder OHV machine called "Quadrant" did not make it to market maturity in 1969, which might have been able to stop the downward trend. The trend was clearly towards large-displacement superbikes, such as those produced by the Japanese competition.

In order to survive, the BSA group first merged with Norton-Villiers to form Norton-Villiers-Triumph (NVT). When NVT decided to close the Meriden plant on July 17, 1973, Triumph was occupied by the workforce that same evening. The occupation was not abandoned until November 1974, but the labor dispute itself did not end until March 6, 1975

In 1990 there was a new beginning in Great Britain. The first models from Hinckley were presented in autumn 1990 at the International Bicycle and Motorcycle Show (IFMA) in Cologne. They were the Trident 750, Daytona 750, Trident 900 and Trophy 900, each with a three-cylinder engine, and the 1000 Four and Trophy 1200, each with a four-cylinder engine[11]. 161,000 m² to set up a second production site, approximately 1.5 km from the plant at Jacknell Road/Hinckley, which was built in 1987. In addition to the production lines, this second location also houses the research and development department.
On March 15, 2002, a major fire destroyed the original 1987 Triumph factory, which had previously housed much of the manufacturing equipment. The fire destroyed all final assembly, many machine tools, the injection molding department, shipping and the powder coating department. The offices, the crankcase, cylinder and engine production as well as the paint shop were badly damaged by the smoke. The fire meant that the entire factory had to be demolished. Reconstruction was complete by September 16, 2002. In 2003, Triumph opened another manufacturing facility in Thailand and in 2006, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Duke of York dedicated an assembly and painting facility there.
On January 1, 2014, 58,036 Triumph motorcycles were registered in Germany, which corresponds to a share of 1.4%.
