The 'Trident' is a gorgeous retro motorbike, released by U.K.-based Triumph Motorcycles, that offers a marvelous combination of speed, style and performance that will make it appeal to motorbike enthusiasts who are also students of two-wheeler history.
Inspired by the original Trident, which was also sold by Birmingham-based BSA Motorcycles under the brand name of 'Rocket 3,' this retro version of the Trident features a clean design that manages to combine a sleek aesthetic with an ode to the engine, which is displayed for all to see without compromising on its performance in any way.
While harkening back to the past isn't necessarily always the best thing to do when designing a product, this often doesn't apply to the vehicle sector, where nostalgia plays a huge role in informing design. With a design that pays homage to the past while embracing the present, this retro motorbike is a fine example of a middleweight two-wheeler that will appeal to buyers across generations.
