They look and sound like a motorcycle (which is why I still have my 2004 Bonnie).
Everyone likes them, hipsters, old farts.
If a 5 year old draws a motorbike, chances are, it will look like a Triumph.
Some Harley owners hate Japanese bikes, some Japanese bike owners hate Harleys. But it seems nobody has any reason to hate Triumphs.
And is there a better, more descriptive, more glorious, name than Triumph?
i would like to believe that the answer is as simple as this, but the thing that makes me believe it's a conspiracy is the fact that in every ad there are very clearly one or two well-framed shots where you can not only tell it's a triumph but you can tell which triumph model it is. the ad company has no reason to hit these shots so perfectly, other that to satisfy some directive to show the viewer the bike, even if only for a few seconds total. I believe this to be the quid-pro-quo for triumph providing the bike. The ad company gets a bike for free or for a very good deal, triumph gets free subliminal advertisement.
