no trophy at the show

[greenduck1966]

went to the mcn show at peterborough today nice size triumph stand but no trophy on it, how the hell do triumph hope to increase sales of what we know is a fine bike if its not put on show.did sit on the thruxton r i like it a lot like sitting on a 125 will have to get a go one.

I agree. There was no Trophy on display at our big bike show here in Utrecht back in February. It does seem a strange omission. I can only think that Triumph will sooner rather than later ditch the Trophy.

I don't understand their approach at all... Been away for the weekend to Abergavenny and South Wales and everywhere I went and parked up had to spend 20-30 minutes talking to people about the bike and what it is.... People are interested in it...


I tell them it's not for every Tom , Dick or Herman

Triumph was not at the Motorcycle show this year in Dallas TX , none nada.
Could that Triumph is cutting back on shows all together.

At the Long Beach show late last year, Triumph only displayed the new Bonneville line-up (Street Twin, Bonneville, Thruxton.)       Not a newly-revamped Explorer to be seen.

I read somewhere that Triumph did that intentionally, to devote all of the spotlight to the new retros.

must cost a lot less to make a retro bike than a trophy

So few people know about the Trophy SE. If people are unaware something exists you can't sell it to them.

The Trophy is turning into a "best kept secret"

This months Motorcycle Sport and Leisure raved on about the new Yamaha tourer- but failed to mention the Trophy as an alternative - suggesting the Kawasaki 1400GTR was its closest rival

They also had a piece on buying an second hand BMW 1300 and suggested 4 alternatives - none of them a Trophy

Utterly balmy!
