I would be surprised if Triumph Thailand is still producing complete motorcycles in Thailand. Some time ago Triumph decided to move all motorcycle production to a new factory in India. The Triumph factory near the city of Bangalore in India is expected to be fully operational by 2015, after which the Thai production facility will be shifting its concentration to spare parts. |

It's not Triumph who are ripping off consumers, other manufacturers also have high luxury tax tariffs placed on many of their machines. |

[/p][/QUOTE]Triumph don't have the same agreement with the BOI as the other foreign manufacturers you mention as their production facility is in the duty free zone, meaning bikes produced there are still classified as imports and are subject to the same taxes as bikes manufactured outside of Thailand. Also, I believe that Triumph no longer assemble complete machines in Thailand as they are relocating that part of their operation to India. The Thai government is pocketing your money, Triumph are not. |
