From what I understand, the parts for the paralell twin bikes are manufactured in Thailand, but are assembled in England. Either way, it is still a British designed and engineered bike, built to Triumph's specifications and quality standards so it is still a British bike, it is still a Triumph.

Most Toyotas are assembled in the U.S., but no matter how you look at it, they are still Japanese cars.

One more thing, as I understand it, Triumph is the only real British vehicle company, all the others are owned in part or whole by U.S. or German companies.
