BSA had the rocket

Triumph had the Trident

Same engine, different badge/styling

That is indeed interesting!
I have been looking off and on for a Triumph Legend or Thunderbird 3-cylinder. They look and sound great. Good power as well. Think they were made from around 1996 to around 2003 or so, kinda' like the Valkyries.

That was a good looking bike UNTIL some twit put raised handlebars on it. Not the one in the photo.

The Beezer triple came out in '66 while the Triumph a couple years later. But I think both were released together. Why they waited I don't know.
The BSA had slanted cylinders while the Triumph had straight cylinders, different transmission and timing case.
I don't have a whole lot of other experience with them. If they changed and became the same in later years, I don't know.
The ones I have experience with are the twins.

The Triumph/Vetter Hurricane used a BSA triple engine rather than the Triumph triple engine.
