Triumph Street Tracker 1200 by Bonneville Performance  

.  

Triumph had been a big name in AMA Flat Track Racing, winning two Flat Track grand nationals in the sixties and one in the seventies. But by 1974 it was all over, with the last sponsored riders being Mike Kidd and John Hateley. This was partly down to rule changes introduced by the AMA, which in simple terms made production bikes such as the Triumph less competitive against purpose built machines. Regardless the writing was on the wall for Triumph and by the mid seventies the company was in deep financial trouble and out of racing.

In 2005 Bill Gately of Port Orange, Florida based Bonneville Performance returned Triumph to the sport after a thirty-one year absence, but not in an official capacity until 2012 when the team received official backing from Triumph. In the meantime to help fund the team Bill started building ‘Turn Key’ Street Trackers, a road version of the teams track bike. So far Bonneville Performance have produced nine of these machines.
