Doesn't seem to be much manufacturing in 'Factory ' Sad they don't make bikes anymore. When they started in the 90s they had one of the most advanced motorcycle manufacturing plants in the world!
The Hinckley Triumph HQ, known as 'Factory 2', has around 800 employees, 420 of those are in R&D, so all Triumph bikes are designed and engineered there. The Hinckley site also machines crankshafts from raw forgings to fully finished components as well as having a full paint-shop that produces spare parts and custom/prototype items. Manufacturing takes place in advanced factories, (3, 4 and 5) which are located in Thailand. Dependent on the destination market and commercial considerations the bikes are either sent fully built or in kit form and assembled using a local work force as is the case at Hinckley for the Tiger 900 and 1200s.
Is good to hear. Hopefully they will bring more manufacturing back to UK. Have gone back to a air-cooled Bonneville after a disappointing experience with my Street twin. Have had 6 Hinkley made Bikes without any issues.

There was quite a bit of manufacturing - crank shafts, crank and engine cases, fabrication, painting - well worth a look David :-)
