Flip is correct.
:gp:

The first ever Triumph motorcycle hit the market in 1902. Until then, the marque (formerly registered as Bettmann & Co. but re-incorporated as "Triumph" in 1887) had only produced bicycles, which might explain some of the controversy surrounding the question.
Harley's first motorbike dates back to 1903.
