1950 年,BSA 收购了凯旋内燃机(Triumph Engineering Co. Ltd.),并于 1953 年从集团内、把摩托车业务分离出来而创建了 BSA Motorcycles Ltd.。在 1950 年代,BSA 是当时全球上最大的摩托车制造商(包括当时的凯旋在内),在全球销售的摩托车中,每四辆就有一辆带有 BSA 标志。 受到日本制造商的冲击,在 1950 年代...

Another huge blunder by BSA Motorcycles was to take Triumph’s very successful 650 twin line & screw it all up with a new oil-bearing frame (that no one asked for & few liked), turning that one-time top-seller into yet another marketing failure. BSA also stuffed their own 650 vertical ...
