Hot off the heels on their annual dealer conference, Triumph Motorcycles has announced a handful of updates to the 2010 model range. These are mostly special editions of existing models, but the news also included a hint at the future. The company announced that its current lineup, which includes 16 models in three model families, will grow by 2012 to include 23 models in seven model families. This indicates Triumph will not only add new models in the future, but will also jump into segments of the market entirely new to them.

For now, here is what we have on the 2010 Triumph Special Editions:

Bonneville 60 Only 600 units of this commemorative edition of the 1960 Bonneville will be built, 100 of which will come to North America. Each motorcycle features two- tone Meriden and Caspian Blue paint, a numbered handlebar clamp plaque and a certificate of authenticity. MSRP is $8,999.

Bonneville T100 Black The “Bonnie Black” was created in response to customer requests for an all-black Bonneville with spoke wheels and a tachometer. MSRP is $8,599.

Thunderbird SE The 1600cc (98 cubic inch) Thunderbird SE comes standard with new Carnival Red paint, ABS, a quick detach touring windshield with wind deflectors, leather saddle bags, touring seat, quick detach passenger back rest with luggage rack, and rider and passenger floor boards. MSRP is $14,999.

Thunderbird 1700 The optional "big bore‟ 1700cc (104 cubic inch) engine upgrade, which increases peak power from 85bhp to 99bhp, and ABS come standard and features a stunning Phantom Red Haze paint that is exclusive to this model. MSRP is $14,799.
