The 3-cylinder Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were developed to
compete with Honda's forthcoming 750cc motorcycle. Initially they
did not compare well - although very fast, they lacked
sophistication and their quirky styling was offputting - and the
decision was made to suspend production. This was not the most
auspicious start, but a fightback was initiated and in 1971 the
factory race team had a triumphant year including placing 1st, 2nd
and 3rd at the Daytona 200. With over 250 photographs, the full
rollercoaster-ride history of these bikes is described, including:
how the bikes came to be, including a timeline of significant
events; a year-by-year account of the evolution of the bikes,
through the T150, T160 and Rocket 3; the story of the Hurricane;
the full racing history and, finally, the Triumph 3-cylinder bikes
today.
