Triumph announced record sales and an expanded range of motorcycles to almost 1,200 delegates at its second Global Dealer Conference, held during the last weekend in July in Birmingham, England.
The world-famous brand, solely owned by British businessman John Bloor, confirmed that it was on track to top 50,000 sales in 2008, exceeding the previous record of 46,700, which was set during Triumph’s "golden era" in the 1960s.

Triumph, based in Hinckley, Leicestershire, claims to be "the world’s fastest growing motorcycle brand", delivering an average annual increase in sales of 17% over the past four years.
Triumph’s success has been credited to its wide and innovative range of motorcycles powered by the company’s signature parallel twin and three cylinder engines.
