'''Triton''' motorcycles were not factory models but were hybrid bikes built in the 1960s and 1970s. Many were privately constructed but some [[London]] dealers including Dave Degens of Dresda Motors offered complete bikes.{{citation needed|date=January 2014}} The builders fitted [[Triumph Engineering Co Ltd|Triumph]] engines into [[Norton Motorcycle Company|Norton]] frames, and the aim was to combine the best elements of each marque and thus gain a bike superior to either. Many Tritons were configured as single-seater [[café racer]]s.<ref >{{Cite web
