Talk:Triumph Tiger T110

Special Category for British Motorcycles
As part of the Motorcycling WikProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out there is a special Category:British motorcycles Please add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons Motorcycles of Britain so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons. The people behind the bikes also bring it all to life - I've created the Category:British motorcycle pioneers so please have a look and see if you can add or expand any?

Wrong photo
The photo of the green bike is of a mid 1970's 750cc TR7RV Tiger and not a T110 Tiger —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.123.135.235 (talk) 17:06, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Changed photo to 1961 Triumph Tiger T110 'bathtub' Kernel2705 (talk) 00:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

add photo
There's a wikimedia commons photo of a 1961 Triumph Tiger 110 that ilustrates well the later model style with the unpopular bathtub and the last of the pre-unit engines. Can this be uploaded onto this page ? 213.123.135.235 (talk) 23:15, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Which event gave the Triumph Bonneville its name?
In its current state the article says: "On 5 September 1962, at Bonneville Salt Flats American racer Bill Johnson secured the world land speed record on a heavily modified Triumph T110 with a top speed of 224.57 mph (361.41 km/h). This success led to the development of the Tiger T110's successor - the Triumph Bonneville." What here is called a "heavily modified Triumph T110" had in fact hardly to do anything with this bike. In fact J. H. "Stormy" Mangham and Jack Wilson started their attempt to break the record in 1954 an were successful in 1956 with driver Johnny Allen in the Triumph Streamliner "Texas Ceegar". All was done on the Bonneville Salt Flats and resulted in giving a new bike the name Bonneville. 84.167.178.140 (talk) 12:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
