Sucks

Does not suck at all from a business stand point, I think it is great that Triumph is cutting loose the dead wieght if they are not making money drop them basic101 stuff here,
The Rocket was never a big seller way to big for some far to ugly for the rest
The Thunderbird could not compete with Harley
And as said BMW riders will not switch brands.
It is good to see Triumph going with the bikes that will make money and as the 700-1200cc is the largest selling market that is where they should be.

Fully agree with your business comments..... but not having the Rocket it still sucks!!



No Rocket, no Thunderbird, no Daytona and no Trophy.

This is a European article. So with their emissions being alot stricter than the states... maybe they will only sell rocket in states

I only saw the first page, I refuse to click through 10 pages to read something, but the Daytona surprises me. Seems Triumph is going all in on the Bonneville derivations, hard to believe. I predict Triumph goes away altogether in not too long.
