ICON: Triumph Motorcycles

Posted by ESM on September 9, 2009 in Features, Icons, Style, Things That Move Us | No Comments »

According to Wikipedia, Triumph is the “largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer”.  This is a pretty big feat, considering some of the company they started with, like BSA.

Since the rollout of their first motorcycle (the ”No 1″), Triumph has evolved into one of the most classic, stylish and unique motorcycle brands today.

Here is an excerpt from their website:

At the heart of Triumph’s philosophy is a firm commitment to developing truly unique motorcycles that are distinctive in looks, design and performance. Triumph’s aim is to craft motorcycles that deliver a great riding experience through the fusion of a well-balanced, easy to handle chassis and strong, flexible engines. The result is an inspiring range of motorcycles delivering intelligent, usable performance.

You can be sure that their aim is reality. Their latest range of motorcycles – from the traditional Bonneville to the enigmatic Speed Triple – has solidified their “Icon” status with us here at ESM.  Each motorcycle is the product of a long tradition of British style and technical savvy.

The Triumph slogan is “Go Your Own Way”.  It represents the same subtle individuality and bravado as one of the marque’s biggest fans: Steve McQueen.  Hey, you can’t go wrong with the “King of Cool”, right?
