The Triumph Group continued its strong year-on-year growth in the 2006 financial year, which ended on 30 June 2006.

Group turnover rose by 13% and sales of Triumph motorcycles rose by 18% compared to the previous year.

The launch in early 2006 of the award-winning Daytona 675 supersports bike and the unique, 50’s-inspired Triumph Scrambler have both contributed to Triumph’s strong sales performance.

Tue Mantoni, Commercial Director, says, “New models are extremely important to driving growth and we are very pleased with the reception of both the Daytona 675 and Scrambler, and the recently launched all-new Triumph Tiger. In addition, it has been great to see demand continuing to increase across the rest of our range, with models like the Rocket III, Speed Triple and our retro-styled modern classics appealing strongly.”

“Our consistent growth over the last few years has given us a strong business platform and we have expanded our production capacity in the last year to meet the increased demand for Triumph motorcycles. We will also continue to invest strongly in R & D to bring out more exciting new bikes in the future.”

For 2007 the strategic focus will remain on sustainable growth with the primary objective of delivering distinctively designed motorcycles through a global network of customer-focused, professional dealers.
