Triumph Weekends Across the World

Monday, April 25th, 2005

This weekend saw Triumph days in many showrooms across the country, as well as in America. Bikers were given the chance to take bikes for long test-rides and try out new and old models to get a feel for the established make.

Triumph is actually the oldest motorcycle in production, having first been built in 1903 - which is one year before Harley-Davidson. They have been doing extremely well in the marketplace, with roughly a 40% growth last year, and plans to develop two new motorcycles a year over the next five years.

This means great news for Triumph fans and makes the way for many successful and entertaining Triumph Weekends to come!

Check out the new and used Triumph bikes we have for offer at GT, and be sure to drop into our showroom for a closer look, or contact us for more information.
