As part of the Motorcycling WikiProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out I have created a category for British motorcycles. Please will you add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons British Motorcycles so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons - take your camera next time you go to a rally!

Deleted incorrect and irrelevant reference to "massive motorcycles". The series was actually called "massive speed" and "the man" referred to was Dave Degens who, by his own admission, didn't actually invent the Triton: "That was how I came to take a close interest in Tritons: the first one I ever saw was ridden by one of the other fellows." (from http://www.dresda.co.uk/ljk.asp). -- John Ball ( talk)

The IMDB reference you added did not support the information you added and wikpedia needs to source such statements because people criticise us for unsourced prose. That is why we require reliable sources. If you have them, then you are welcome to reedit, but personal recollections are not regarded as encyclopaedic reliable source; it is termed original research. The TV link you provided is useless because it make absolutely no mention of the Triton at all. Did you even read the WP:RS/IMDB link I provided for you? Good luck. ww2censor ( talk) 03:24, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
It has been suggested (& an editor has rightly put a "citation needed") that some Meriden Triumph engines used in Tritons had fuel injection. This is news to me, and I can find no references anywhere. Did the Weslake 8-valve head use EFI? Modern Hinkley Bonneville engines have had EFI since 2007, but as far as I know, nobody has built a Triton using a Hinkley engine. Arrivisto ( talk) 18:37, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
I moved over some edits from User:Benjamin Mako Hill/Triton motorcycle (my sandbox page) and forgot to put that in the edit summary. I've providing the link here. — mako ๛ 18:52, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
Michael F 1967 you have changed the year-date adding original research. The first usage of Triton as a 'brand name' was from 1963; if you have a contemporaneous (with the actual alleged events) source that they were produced under that name in the 1950s please quote it so that it may be checked. The first Triumph-Norton that I have documented evidence for was I think (from memory, on another computer) made in 1955. It is a well-known historic race machine.-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 02:05, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
The V5 registration date would often take the year of manufacture of the frame, being the only major component uniquely identified that could not easily be replaced, so a machine built in 1970 could have a 1958 original registration. Here's an example, and here's a pic of the bike - built in 2002 with a 700cc+ unit construction engine.-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 02:18, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
