Today in Nation business section Dom owner of Britbike admits that Triumph total sales have been only 400 bikes over 6 years thats an average only 65 a year , Ducati have sold over 1200 bikes in one year and 209 in July this year alone, its obvious he wants to keep it an exclusive super expensive brand and it also appears he has Triumph UK tied into a Thai distribution deal they cant get out of including the need to treat all Triumphs as IMPORTS although factory insiders have intimated they would like too use BOI privelige to sell the Thai made models at more reasonable prices ......TIT . Thats why Ducati set up a different distribution system they want mass market sales here and he does not , Ducati are in control of their destiny in Thailand as are Kawasaki , honda etc......Triumph at present are not in control of the Thai distributer network a clear case of the tail waging the dog.
