Triumph has a slightly better case for their 'since 1902' claim. John Bloor bought the remnants of the company months after bankruptcy in '83, and turned the manufacturing rights to the Bonnie over to Les Harris. Harris produced a limited number of Bonnies every year through '89 while Bloor was building the new factory and designing the new bikes, which were displayed at Cologne in 1990. So, with only one full year when a Triumph was not being produced, there is certainly more continuity than Indian.
