David Clarke's book is very good. It covers everything up to the last of the TBS series. It's really a review of the bikes, both by model and by year. It's an excellent reference too. I have difficulty remembering when the Sprint Executive was around for example, or which T3s were sole with fairings and which were naked. He called it the First Generation. I don't know when Triumph are going to make a big enough change for the past to be able to be described as the Second Generation.
Second generation Hinckleys start with the end of the modular building and spine frames so more or less that starts with T595's and TT600's. Third generation Hinckleys I would also say would start with the 675 Daytona's but it becomes a bit staggered from there, but we are more or less at generation 3 now.
