What is the relationship between Triumph and BSA? Clearly the new Triumph Rocket 3 has it roots here (without the 2.3 liter motor).  Sorry for my ignorance,  I was not aware there was a relationship between the two.

Cheers!

Dan,

BSA & Triumph were one company from the '50s until it went bust in '83. The new (ie Hinckley) Triumphs are connected by name only.
