Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The single carb Trophy was considered to be the best all round model and proved very popular in the USA, especially in the upswept exhaust ‘Desert Race’ specification.
