Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Triumph's top selling models?

Say,

Does anyone know how many of each model motorbike Triumph has sold over the last year or few?

I'm curious as to which models sell the most and which the fewest, for no other reason than I'm just curious!

I'm betting bonneville the most, rocket 3 the fewest. No idea though, just a guess.

For what it is worth... I was recently told that the America is the best selling Triumph at Sindt Motors in Dubuque, Iowa.

They seem to be very secret about the numbers of what and where it sells at Triumph. Strange folks in that respect.

My local dealer has sold 5 2009 Americas to date. 'nough said.

Ryan, 30% of the model year is gone already. Are you considering that to be a lot of bikes? I assume you are talking about Rossmeyer.

I would hazard a guess from the quantity of bikes in the local showroom and speaking to the store manager that currently the street triple appears to be selling like hotcakes and theres about a 3 month waiting list for them.

I would consider the scrambler to be the slowest selling - when was the last time you saw a scrambler on the road?

Well Graham, I just saw one a couple days ago(and talked to its owner) while sippin' some Java at a Starbucks in Manhattan Beach. But, I think you're right. I think the Scrambler probably isn't one of Triumph's biggest seller out there, though I wouldn't mind havin' one.

And regarding this thread, I'd say without seeing any official sales charts from Triumph, it would be pretty hard, if not impossible, to figure out what their best sellers are by just having the folks state here what sells the best at their local dealership, due to the propensity of the riders of each and every locality throughout the world to have their different tastes in and different needs from a motorcycle.

In other words, I'll bet("PERCENTAGE-wise" as compared to the rest of their model lines, anyway) Triumph's "Cruiser" model line sell far higher in number here in The States than it does in the U.K. or anyplace place on the planet, due to americans seeming preference for that genre of motorcycle. But I'll bet the Tigers sell in much higher number(once again "percentage-wise") across The Pond.

Yep, John. I think you might just be confusin' the word "propensity" with "prosperity" there, amigo!

(...and Lord knows, I'm pretty much floatin' around in this same little ol' lifeboat with the rest of you out there since this whole dang ecomomy decided to do a little "Titanic-esque" number on us all...so nope, I "ain't got no" 50 bucks to send off to Merkel Press or whoever it'd be publishing Triumph's sale figures, dude!....sorry)

675

Hands down, world-wide.

It's a track bike.

At Indy Triumph the sales guys tell me that the classic lines sell the best(All the bonnies, thruxtons, scramblers, ect.) But also the Daytonas and Speed Triples don't last long in the show room floor. When they got their first Bonneville SE in it was gone that afternoon. That bike is going to be one of those if you see one you better jump on it fast!

In the link to the article in the MCN that was posted, it said the speed triple was the best selling triumph with 38,000 bikes sold. I suspest the 675 will be catching it up now as it gets great reviews and wins every comparison test its in at the moment.
I'm guessing but the sport bikes will all out sell the retro/cruisers everywhere except maybe the USA.

There's a brand new 675 in the bike park at work. It replaces a 04 plated 675. Along with a Tiger, and a couple of other plastic Triumphs.... but still only my America from the classic/cruiser ranges.

been to my dealer today didn't ask for specific models but they have good sale 1 bike everyday
