Triumph Motorcycles (America) Ltd. announced recently that new retail sales in the US reached 1067 units in April, which is a new single month sales record for the Hinckley, UK based motorcycle manufacturer.
This is a 32% increase over the same month last year. Triumph’s previous monthly sales record was 1016 units and was set in July, 2004. Triumph’s growth in America has been driven by strong sales of the Rocket III cruiser and deliveries of the all new 1050cc Sprint ST sport tourer and the Speed Triple “Naked Bike.” Perennial favorites like the classic Bonneville T100 also posted strong gains.
