TRIUMPH TRIDENT AND BSA ROCKET 3: THE COMPLETE STORY

Author Peter Henshaw charts the journey of the three-cylinder Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3. Both were developed to compete with Honda’s CB750 but initially they did not compare well – lacking sophistication and having quirky styling. Despite this, the machine would fight back both on track and in the showrooms. This book includes more than 250 photographs, and charts the full rollercoaster ride year-by-year, including the T150, T160, Rocket 3 and Hurricane. Also covered is the full racing history and, finally, the Triumph three-cylinder bikes today.
