This year Triumph celebrates 50 years of the iconic Bonneville motorcycle. This ultra-rare model will be short run of only 650 units - 
"Bonneville T100 50th Anniversary models will be produced in
a unique orange and blue colour scheme that echoes the 1959 original. Based on
the standard T100, the Anniversary model features a host of detail changes and
comes with a numbered handlebar-mounted plaque and a certificate of authenticity
signed by John Bloor, the owner of Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. "
Not to be forgotten, the standard Bonneville gets a host of changes -
"Meanwhile, the standard Bonneville gets Seventies-look cast
wheels and revised ergonomics. With its lower seat height, the 2009 Bonneville
is more manoeuvrable than ever before. Also on sale is a higher specification
Bonneville SE, which takes the standard Bonneville and adds a two-tone colour
scheme, brushed alloy engine casings and additional instrumentation. The
Sixties-influenced Bonneville T100 remains in the line-up for 2009, with minor
detail changes and a new blue and white colour option. "
The Sprint ST, Tiger, Speed Triple, Scrambler, Rocket III, Rocket Classic, Rocket III Touring, America, & Speedmaster all get subtle changes -
"The Rocket III, Rocket III Classic, Rocket III Touring, Speed Triple, Tiger, Sprint ST, America, Speedmaster, Scrambler and Thruxton all remain in the Triumph range for 2009, benefiting from minor detail updates and exciting new colours, including an attitude-filled Matt Khaki Green option for the Scrambler."
The potent Daytona 675 gets a fresh new look, and more GOOOOO! -
"Triumph is also introducing a heavily revised Daytona 675 for 2009. Producing 3PS more than its predecessor and weighing 3kg less, the highly acclaimed supersport machine handles even better than before thanks to the latest race-developed suspension, featuring high and low speed damping at both the front and rear, while new Nissin monobloc brakes give improved feel and stopping power. The bike has also been restyled, with a new cockpit, headlight and screen complementing the Jet Black and Tornado Red colour options. "
The wildy-popular Street Triple gets a new model variate with more BANG! -
"New for the coming season is the high-specification Street Triple R, aimed at discerning riders looking for a naked bike that provides a sporty riding experience normally associated with fully-faired supersport machines. Based on the phenomenally successful standard Street Triple, the 675cc triple features race-track derived suspension and brakes and will be launched with a new Matt Graphite colour scheme, complete with striking orange graphics. A Matt Blazing Orange (with Graphite graphics) option will also be available from January 2009."
Lastly, Triumph teased dealers with a glimse of things to come with the Thunderbird, an all-new 1600cc Parallel cruiser! -
"The Global Dealer Conference in Birmingham, England was also the official announcement of the eagerly-anticipated parallel twin-cylinder cruiser, which will be known as the Thunderbird.
Set to go on sale for the 2010 model year, the all-new six-speed 1,600cc cruiser has been designed to take on the best in the cruiser category. Combining sleek and modern looks with great dynamics, the belt-driven Thunderbird will provide an authentic cruiser experience in a uniquely Triumph package.
The Thunderbird will be offered with an extensive range of official accessories which will allow the rider to tailor the bike to their individual needs. Whether they want a stripped down and chromed up hot rod with muscular performance or a fully-dressed classic style custom-tourer for two-up touring, Triumph’s accessory range lets the rider customise the Thunderbird to their individual tastes. An ABS option is also available."
Add some fresh new Clothes, Parts, & Accessories & 2009 will be a year of Triumph!
