Triumph is one of the most iconic motorcycle brands that has graced us.
From Evel Knievel to Steve McQueen, many motorcycle icons have made their mark on Triumphs and have endorsed the brand as one of the best motorcycle manufacturers. So, when you've reached such an iconic status as Triumph, how do you celebrate?
Well, a limited-edition series of motorcycles themed around your most iconic logo seems like a good way to go.
For one year only, Triumph will have a line of models known as the Modern Classic Icon Edition, consisting of seven models. There are many stylistic features that set these bikes apart, but the Icon lineup all revolves around a common theme—a timeless legacy logo. Since Triumph's founding in 1902, the brand has gone through 10 iterations of its logo, but one stands above the rest.

This logo was introduced in 1907 but has not been displayed on an official Triumph tank for over 100 years. But the reason it looks so familiar to some of you is that it's probably the logo preferred by most custom motorcycle builders who work with Triumph models.
