The United States is Great Britain’s big-
gest motorcycle customer. In fact many
British models that are sold in England
(not exported) have begun to employ
American features. The success of the big
capacity Triumph models in the U.S. has
resulted in great sales increases of the hotter
models in England. Triumphs that are ex-
ported to the United States are virtually
designed especially for North American
road conditions which include long stretches
of high speed open road, as well as ultra-
rugged back country and desert.
Triumph handling and engine perform-
ance have been continually refined to make
the models ideally suited to the American
rider. For 1965, front forks have been
modified for added stability and even bet-
ter cornering. Dirt track competition mod-
els should benefit from this improvement
too. The heftier Twin cylinder forks will
be standard on the Sports and Competition
Cubs beginning in 1965.
Tuning has been simplified for ’65 by a
new provision for quick and accurate igni-
tion and valve liming.
New and better clutch facings are being
employed on new models to further insure
that Triumph “snap” off the line.
Oil leaks have been given much attention
on new models and an all out attempt has
been made to eliminate even minor leakage.
Tail and stop lights have been given the
attention of Triumph experts who have
seen fit to enlarge these and increase their
power.
Competition models will be equipped
with new VDO Enduro type speedometers.
This includes T 120/C, TR6S/C and the
T100S/C models.
On Cub models the big end bearing has
been improved for added reliability.
To complete the picture, sparkling new
color combinations are offered, featuring a
deep metallic blue on top line Bonnevilles.
Triumph sales have been soaring in the
United States and the line promises to set
new all time sales records again in ’65. Tri-
umph is distributed in the Eastern United
States by The Triumph Corporation. P.O.
