On the MANY Triumph forums I've been part of I've not seen a lot of problems. Not perfect, but generally good with mostly happy owners.
Just my .02 cents.

Yes, Triumph have come along in leaps and bounds since that phoenix arose from the ashes, but I haven't owned one since I had a tiger cub in the mid-60s.
So, 50 years have elapsed and no more Triumphs in my ownership.
I can't really pin down why I have not owned another over all those years but I do recall what a UK based ex-dealership told me, perhaps 10-12 years ago: this came from the owner of the dealership who had stopped selling Triumph motorcycles but continues to sell the big 4 Japanese marques.
"He became tired of Triumphs "policy" at that time of asking the dealerships to carry out "secret" recalls without formally calling such actions a recall".
His words, not mine, but he didn't have to tell me.
Maybe they have upped their game more recently for warranty issues, but that lack of transparency did nothing to encourage me to give them my business.
