The JAPANESE bikes that CARPENTER works on have far more trans problems than the ROCKETS mostly all the bikes that come to CARPENTER RACING are modified and are being raced and are subjected to abnormal abuse and the Rockets hold up better than the others BUT none of the motorcyles produced today are indestructable
 

It seems to me it's not the engineering overall, but the foolish assembly mistakes that put us on edge, for you can never know which bike will be a bike that got assembled with eyes closed! Triumph is said to use a single line and every bike of every model goes down that line. That has to encourage mistakes, you think you are putting a particular bike together, grab the parts from the bin, and it's the sister model! Blindly you stick the parts on anyway!
 
HA LOL thats funny havnt seen any signs of that BUT I see HARLEY is recalling 47,000 of the new 108 ci bikes
 
No that could not be true except for UK made models like the Rocket 3, as many Triumph models are made only in Thailand and possibly India shortly.
 
R3 has been said to be the only model to be permanently assembled in the U.K. Factory.

Others are certainly built there, though it's unclear for some which model or trim is U.K. built and which isn't.

Long story and may have changed since that thread was closed in mid 2008 but worth skipping to the end of the thread first. Initially only 2 cyl components shipped to or made in Thailand and partially assembled with all engines UK made. Some UK 2 cyl bikes were and may still be fully UK assembled and some, (probably all now) for US, Oceania, Asia markets Thailand assembled. Multiple Thai factories.

Very important point to prevent bunfights - ISO VIN numbering system IS a legal requirement for USA but not the same for the rest of the world so people should not get their knickers in a knot over VIN numbers w/o understanding which theirs is.
