This week Triumph motorcycles announced that to mitigate financial problems they are making 400 of their 2500 workers redundant. They are placing the blame on the pandemic but the route of the problem may run much deeper!

I absolutely agree with you on the over tech and over price of todays bike. When i bought the trophy in 2014 the number of electrical tech problem certainly put a bad taste in my mouth. most of the tech I never used . I still find that to this day . thx for a great video
Thinking of buying a Triumph. Nice bikes. Lost interest in your video after a couple of minutes.
Apart from Triumph, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW, and Ducati build at least part of their motorcycle range in Thailand. That's what you get when you allow companies to freely move capital away from the countries in which the sell their products.
ONLY THING IN COMMON WITH MY 1970 650 ID THE NAME NOT BUILT IN BRITIAN
Another fine example of arrogant and incompetent British management. I clearly remember the demise of Triumph and then Meridian. It astounds me that Triumph senior management do not understand their core customers. I mean, it's not rocket science. Stop listening to the press. They don't buy your motorbikes. Get off your arses, ride a f***ing Triumph motorbike to your dealerships and TALK to actual customers. Keep production of a British Bonneville in the UK. Sure, move production of the other "trick" bikes to Taiwan. Offer reasonably priced upgrades for the bikes such as seats, luggage, screens, etc. I now have the money to buy a new bike, but Triumph no longer make what I want. I am stuck with my 2003 Trophy 1200.
Mostly agree with this. Really stupid going with the bigger bikes. A nice 500-650cc Bonneville range would be best. The trend is to smaller bikes right now. Big, heavy machine market is shrinking. Too impractical.
So just like the sixties,when Japanese bikes took over and deserved too.
🇬🇧Lol/Sad but Triumph has been leading us by the nose for quite some time now….(!)
Harley-Davidson is troubled as well. They still focus on the big, expensive bikes whilst their market (Baby Boomers) dwindle away. They've largely ignored the youth market that wants affordable, smaller displacement bikes.
If you want to purchase a Triumph motorcycle, you need to buy an older machine made at Meriden or Small Heath before 1983.
Modern Triumphs are conjumbles of international parts, assembled in third world countries.
Putting stickers on tanks is a corporate boardroom insider scam.
