James Bond Stunt Coordinator Lee Morrison rides a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC on set

"Triumph provided us with early Tiger 900 prototypes before the launch so we could shoot in three locations at once, long before the bike was officially unveiled. We put the bikes to the test. We have literally thrown everything at them. Big craggy sharp rocks, deep boggy mud, high speeds, big jumps and huge climbs and descents across a variety of conditions. The Tigers really have stood up to the task incredibly well, with no mechanical issues, and to me this really proves their go-anywhere credentials," said James Bond Stunt Coordinator Lee Morrison.

Watch our review of the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC:

Triumph Motorcycles has a long history of being part of Hollywood blockbusters over the years, right from Marlon Brando, James Dean and Steve McQueen using a Triumph as their choice of motorcycle on the silver screen. More recently, we've seen Tom Cruise riding a Speed Triple in "Mission Impossible 2" which takes pride of place at Triumph's Hinckley museum, complete with bullet holes and all. We've also seen Triumphs being used to flee dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" and being chased by zombies in "The Walking Dead". In 2018, Marvel also used a Triumph Thruxton R in the "Ant-Man and the Wasp".

Watch the "No Time To Die" Movie Trailer:

The latest Bond movie, "No Time To Die" will be released worldwide on April 2, 2020. Apart from the motorcycle action sequences, led by the Triumph bikes, there will be plenty of car chases to look forward to as well. The trailer shows Bond drifting around on an Aston Martin DB5 equipped with machine guns, unmistakably one of Q's creations. Also seen is the 'replacement' 007 in an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
