    6/18/2021 Triumph Motorcycles Timeline: The Glory Years, 1963-1972 Triumph Motorcycles timeline 1963-1972: The Glory Years See bottom of page for links to other eras in Triumph's history New: Post your comments, opinions, and ask questions on my new FORUM. Tiger 90, high performance 350 3TA introduced, similar to T100S/S. All 650s, (including Bonnies, 1963 Tbirds, TR6, Trophy) are built with a new unit construction engine/gear box. Tina T10, 100cc scooter with automatic transmission introduced (designed by Turner). The US-only TR6SC, a pure desert racer with straight pipes, was produced: basically a single-carb T120, very fast. 650s all get new coil ignition. First year for T120 unit construction models. The Bonnie undergoes numerous and significant upgrades to its engine, gearbox, transmission and frame (after toying with a duplex design, Triumph instead made a larger diameter downtube to combat wobble and weave). A special TT model (T120C/TT) is produced until 1967 for the USA, due to the encouragement of Bill Johnson, of Johnson Motors ("Jo-Mo"). This is a stripped-down racing model, only made until 1966 for the US market. Two US dealers on a camping trip come up with the idea for the T20M Mountain Cub, combining Tiger Cub, Sports Cub and trials Cub parts. First sold in USA in 1964, proves very successful. BSA closes the Ariel factory at Selly Oak. The last Ariels in production, the Leader and Arrow, are manufactured at BSA's factory in Small Heath until 1965. Norton Atlas released. AMC acquires James. Norman ceases production.

    NORTON COMMANDO 750 24Th June 2018 Feature Articles 'Classic Bike Guide'

    NORTON COMMANDO 750 24th June 2018 Feature articles 'Classic Bike Guide' Dennis Poore watched with relish as Associated Motor Cycles began imploding under a mountain of debt. In 1960, AMC, the giant conglomerate that included Matchless, AJS, Norton, Francis- Barnett and James, had turned a profit of £219,000 but a year later the books revealed a massive £350,000 loss. And that was a huge sum of money – today it would have been up to £15,000,000 (euro 17,000,000). Villiers Engineering, which manufactured engines in Wolverhampton for small motorcycles like the James and Fanny-B, was also on the ropes. The boss of Manganese Bronze Holdings, Roger Dennistoun Poore was not your average company chairman. He had earned a Master’s degree in engineering at King’s College, Cambridge where he began by making his own vice drill from scratch – and very nice it is too. I know, because it is sitting on my workbench. Then he made his own bench drill, including pouring the molten metal for the castings. And he had some of the best and brightest tutors in the country, including Dr Stefan Bauer, whose CV includes Rolls-Royce, Norton Villiers and BSA. Cambridge University had an active car racing club and Poore was soon hooked. But before he had time to make much use of his engineering degree, war clouds were gathering over Europe. Poore joined the Royal Air Force and, thanks to his leadership abilities, soon reached the rank of Wing Commander. When peace returned, so did car racing and Poore bought the ex-Tazio Nuvolari Alfa Romeo 8C-35 that had won the 1936 Donington Grand Prix.
