(More customer reviews)I remember attending a vintage car rally organised by the VCCI in Bombay a year back. As I was strolling about camera in hand looking at all the old beauties, I heard the roar of what could only be a twin cylinder thumper. Even before I turned my heard towards the source of the sound my heart was beating faster and I knew that what I would see would be immensely and instantly desirable. Small wonder then that it turned out to be a gleaming red and white Triumph. The Triumph Bonneville caused a similar reaction when it landed on the American shore in 1959. As a matter of fact it started a revolution that would define sportbike performance over the coming decade. Triumph: Bonneville and TR6 by Timothy Remus retraces the evolution of this icon that started of as a 30-horsepower bike and evolved to a 60-horse power screamer. With a delightful number of stunning pictures that will have you wishing you had one of these bikes, the book captures the bike at each step of its developmental journey. There's the 1959 model, the watershed TT bikes and the top-of-the-line 1970 model. The book with its 120 plus photographs and an authoritative text bring the Triumph Bonneville and TR6 back to life. If you are the kind of person who drools over gleaming chrome and the thumpy roar that Triumphs are all about this book is definitely for you.
