Essentially a re-styled  Triumph Bonneville, the "West Coast" styled TSX was distinguished by its lowered chassis and 16-inch-diameter (410 mm) rear wheel with the engine off-set in the frame to accommodate this. Other changes, whilst unique to the model, were cosmetic including stepped seat, black finished engine with polished fins, re-styled passenger grabrail, shortened front and rear painted mudguards, the latter having a black plastic extension for the larger UK vehicle numberplate, chromed shorty megaphone exhausts with the crossover pipe hidden between them under the bike and flowing thru 1.75" pipes,  Morris alloy wheels (then made by Performance Machine) and 'retro' red/orange/yellow stripes outlined in the usual gold hand pinstriping.  Paioli rear suspension units, with plastic top shrouds, were sited at a more acute angle further back on the swinging arm to lower the seat height. A slightly lower rise and wider USA style handlebar was fitted and chromed  Lucas turn indicators returned in place of the black plastic  ULO items that had replaced them on other Triumph models from 1981. A chromed wire mounted Lucas headlamp with sealed beam was changed to the Lucas H4 later in the production run. A  Brembo rear brake master cylinder was fitted in place of the usual  Automotive Products (AP)  Lockheed item which remained for the front, as well as supplying both calipers. Dual front discs were an option. Whilst the 1982–1983 brochure showed  Goodyear Eagle tyres fitted, an  Avon Roadrunner rear and Speedmaster front tyre went on production models, the tyres' lettering picked out in white. Although the German magazine  Motorad road-tested a kick start-only version, the kickstart was an optional extra on the production TSX. The standard TSX engine was a T140ES (electric start) 748 cc (45.6 cu in) with two 32-mm  Bing carburettors and electronic ignition. The engine was offset to accommodate the fatter rear tyre within the frame which also necessitated a unique swingarm and abbreviated chromed chainguard. The engine also benefitted from an updated crankshaft with more careful machining of the side areas of the bobweights; the result being greatly reduced vibration. The TSX fuel tank was a unique design for the model having only one Paioli left hand petrol tap situated ahead to accommodate the larger Bing carburettors. This tank also had a centralised filler hole with optional locking cap and a balance pipe situated on the front of the tank's underside.

According to Triumph's records held by the  Vintage Motor Cycle Club (VMCC), the first TSX was made for the North American market on 18 June 1981.

A total of 371 were produced with 200 shipped to the USA, 100 remaining in the UK and 71 to the rest of the world. Of these 371 units, approximately two-thirds were Gypsy Red in color, and the remaining one-third were Midnight Black. #01
