It's not really backward. That is a black/silver 790 America. Those run so near light speed that the time-space distortion creates this illusion.

Triumph minted 6 of those before they noticed the mistake. A rare bike indeed!

Yeah Jack! And I've heard because of their rarity, those 6 are now fetching upwards of 25 Grand or more out there in some auctions too!
(and scubadude...if you believe any o' that, I can also get cha a real good deal on a certain bridge which spans the East River in New York City TOO!) 
(oh and BTW...welcome to the site, Adam!  ...and to answer your question here, it's been that way since this website was started some 6 years ago...the theory has it that it was an oversight which Robert, the originator and owner of this website, didn't catch that it was actually the right side of the bike in question and that the image was "flopped" in error...at least that's been one of the more probable theories that's been floated every time this issue comes up on a semi-regular basis, anyway)

I think this is a good time to brag again on my own custom masthead that I implemented in firefox using the Greasemonkey and Stylish plugins.  Neener neener neener!

I think it has somthing to do with the effect on molocules as you approch light speed.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

It's actually an optical illusion. You see, the red and black Speedmasters are SO FAST, that bikes of any other color look not only like they're standing still, but like they are actually going BACKWARDS in comparison. Really. Check it out. It's on YouTube.
