| Triumph Adventurer 1973 | |
| Norton-Villiers-Triumph, England | |
| Triumph's Adventurer cashed in on some international success gained by private entries based on the company's Bonneville twin. The Adventurer was a token development of the Bonneville, rather than a properly developed trials machine and few were sold. | |
| 500 cc twin engine. | |
| Triumph T10, UK | |
| The T10 was a slightly redesigned Tina with the safety start-drive switch moved under the seat so the scooter would only go when the driver was seated. Other cosmetic changes were made as well, such as the front brake control moved to the left handlebar. The T10 stayed on for five years but was never a success next to the ever-improving Italian designs. | |
| Triumph Tigress, UK circa 1940s | |
| These scooters were designed to offer a luxury scooter with motorcycle power. The idea was sound, the timing was not. Innocenti and Piaggio had sparked the scooter market in the late 1940's by the time BSA-Triumph entered the fray they had missed the boat by about ten years. However, Tigress did find one market, circuses loved the scooter. The heavy-duty body and hydraulic suspension made the Tigress ideal for trained bears to circumnavigate the circus ring to the crowd's never-ending awe. | |
