Triumphs are made in Hinckley which although it has a couple of good curry houses I believe is still in Leicestershire:-) I think you are getting mixed up with Royal Enfield, Liz, which are made in India.

I have just discovered that BSA Regal are making a 500cc single cylinder Gold Star as well. Seems worth a look. Now, anyone want to give me 7 or 8 grand...;-)
