Can anyone tell me whether this is right?
The engines in Triumph motorbikes are not manufactured by Triumph but by Honda?
Any input appreciated

Negative. Triumph is their own manufacturer. Rumor has it that Ford/Mazda helped design the earlier models crankshaft. But they are completely built in Hinckley UK. I love my 1050! It's still hard for me to accept that they are English and don't leak oil! But it hasn't leaked a drop! Weird!

The 'new' original was more of a Kawasaki motor than a Honda. (10~15yrs ago?)
Triumph designed and built their own engines in Britain though

Nope. Triumph manufactures its own engines in Hinckley.

i don't think Honda has any connection with Triumph. however they have opened plants in Thailand that manufacture motorcycles for sale in other markets. i am not positive, but i think that's why their prices are more reasonable now.

Triumph makes their own motors, they re tooled their factory in 1999. They make one of the best motors in the world.

Nope! They make their own. I saw it on Discovery Channel today on that orange county chopper show. They visited the factory over in England.
