Triumph Motorcycle Sales Record

Notice: This is a discussion thread for comments about the CycleChaos article, Triumph Motorcycle Sales Record.

regarding the article on triumph being the oldest motorcycle still being produced i agree .but the first true production motorcycle was as far as i know built in 1885 with a wooden frame and in it was a 264cc 4 stroke by ????they also started with cycles and later built cars and still do, any idea?

Yeah I think it was saying they were one of the oldest brands, that's a press release from Triumph. I think the bike you are refering to is at http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Daimler. I also think he went on to become Mercedes-Benz.

That's a picture of it. I actually had the name spelled wrong before looking to make sure it was Mercedes-Benz he was affiliated with.

felt sure you knew

Oh no! I was going to build one just like it and start a new company. Bummer

good luck cutting and sanding ?and don't chip it a classic in the making ,then stick it on ebay ,and make a fortune eeeeeeh?

I used to own a 1953 speed twin with a spring hub.I knew they would make a comeback. They were always a well made Bike!!! I guess you can probably tell my age now.
teepee2

That was built by Daimler in Germany.

Here:



Daimler AG recently built an exact replica of this bike that runs and can be ridden.
