Triumph have finally confirmed that they have a 'Tiger Cub' on the way! Details are very sketchy at the moment, but what we do know is that there are 2 new 'adventure' bikes coming out, one road bike and one off-road biased using a larger capacity version of the 675cc 3 cylinder Daytona engine, rumoured to be in the region of 800cc. They will be officially unveiled at the Milan EICMA show in November, but in the meantime they are giving away some teaser information on www.triumphadventure.com

Can't wait until November? We are taking deposits now so get yours in early to secure one of the first bikes. Contact us for more information.

It's set to be a great day, with on track action, stunt shows, factory tours, previews of the 2011 Triumph range (yes, that includes the new adventure bike!), great live music including The Stanglers and Mumford & Sons and much more.

Five years after the introduction of the popular 1050cc Sprint ST sports tourer, along comes a new model with greater practicality and more emphasis on the ‘touring’ aspect of ‘sports touring’: the Triumph Sprint GT.

That is not to say the Sprint GT has lost the sporting edge that made the Sprint ST one of the most popular and enduring bikes in the Triumph range. As you would expect from a British machine wearing the famous Grand Tourer tag, the Sprint GT delivers outstanding real world performance in a practical and stylish package.

Performance is taken care of by an updated version of Triumph’s legendary 1050cc triple. First introduced in the 2005 Sprint ST, the latest incarnation of this great engine has been updated to deliver increased power, torque and usability. With 130bhp on hand, the Sprint GT offers excellent real world performance, with development focused on power delivery in the mid-range rather than chasing peak power.

Practicality is the GT’s byword with new 31 litre panniers, ABS brakes as standard, underseat storage, built in rack with well appointed grab rail, 200 mile fuel range and an optional top box capable of swallowing two full sized helmets and offering a 12 volt power supply to allow ‘on the go’ charging of electrical items such as laptops and mobile phones. And price? At £9,499 on the road, the Sprint GT offers real-world performance at a price other sports tourers can’t come close to.

Our demonstrator will be with us at the beginning of July, give us a shout to arrange a test ride and see for yourself why the Sprint GT is for all the roads ahead.

 

Bob & Sam have just got back from the Triumph UK Dealer Conference where they received the award for Dealer of the Year 2009 for Customer Satisfaction, Sales!

This award is down to you, our customers. It's the result of all of your feedback to Triumph about us as a dealer, and for that we are eternally grateful. Here's to repeating it in 2010.
 

The new Triumph Rocket III Roadster is the ultimate muscle streetfighter. With all the power and ability of the standard model and the biggest torque figure of any production motorcycle.

Coming in two black colour options, metallic Phantom Black and Matt Black, the Rocket III Roadster is powered by an uprated version of Triumph’s iconic three-cylinder 2,294cc powerplant. Maximum power has increased with torque up 15% to a mighty 224Nm.

Triumph’s sophisticated anti-lock braking system is fitted as standard to the Rocket III Roadster and the bike has received a long list of ergonomic and quality improvements over the previous Rocket III.

The new ergonomics give the Rocket III Roadster a completely different riding experience from its predecessors. The new footrests are further back, lower down and more inboard than on the Rocket III, creating a comfortable riding position which non-cruiser riders will feel at home with. The plush new seat sits the rider higher and further forward than before, giving a comfortable and natural leg position while reducing the reach to the handlebars. The result is a motorcycle that is easier to steer through corners than any other Rocket III variant.

New rear suspension units have been designed to offer a comfortable ride, while the main components take on a blacked out appearance for that ‘bad boy’ image. Many components have been taken back to black, including the forks, yokes, radiator shroud and rear springs. New silencers, one on each side, are the final touches. These have been designed to release more power and torque and optimise the aural experience.

The Triumph Rocket III Roadster has been competitively priced at £10,949 making Rocket III ownership more affordable than ever, and will be available at official Triumph dealerships from early 2010. The long-haul Rocket III Touring continues alongside the Rocket III Roadster, priced at £12,999 OTR.

That's right, we are not going to be BS Bikes for much longer. We are changing our name to become Staffordshire Triumph! Don't worry, we're not being bought out, taken over or booted out by corporate clones, we will still be the same friendly bunch that you've always known. To go with the new name we also have a new logo that you will start to see, first of all on our new van but it will also make it's way onto the website and other places in due course.

For those that have asked; yes, we are still moving. We know that i'ts taking a while, indeed one senior staff member at Triumph said that 'some dealer's have been moving for longer than DFS have had a sale on for'. With the economy as it is there hasn't been much progress in the last few months but things are still going forward and the move will happen. It is still a while away yet and you will have loads of notice before we move, so don't worry about turning up one day to find that we've gone! As for where we're moving to, we are all under an oath of silence so don't bother asking us for the time being. It's not too far away though and it's in a very accessable location.
