(03-28-2015, 01:14 PM)The ferret_imp Wrote: The Triumph handled superbly compared to the Honda, and they had similar top speeds however the Honda had a 5 speed box and the Trident a 4 speed box, but more importantly the Honda had an electric started which Triumph didn't get until 1975... Way too late to save Triumph.

BTW little known, by 1973 Triumph had a 1000cc 4 cyl in prototype form called the Quadrant ( actually quite an attractive motorcycle) but it never made it to production.

A Brit UJM (or UBM?). Looks like it would have competed directly with the Kaw Z-1. I think that would have solved the modernization issue, but I have a feeling that the quality control issues would have still killed them.
