Publisher's Synopsis
Among the iconic motorcycle brands, Triumph Motorcycles rank right behind Harley-Davidson. Interest in the Triumphs built between 1938 and 1983 continues to build among both older enthusiasts as well as the younger men and women who weren't even alive during Triumph's best decades in the sixties and seventies. The Triumphs built between 1938 and 1983, especially the vertical twins, were not only years ahead of their peers, they brought a whole new design to market. Ed Turner's Triumph twin was lighter, faster and more nimble than anything on the market at that time. It was the Speed Twin, introduced in 1938 that would be copied again and again by both the competing English manufacturers, as well as the Japanese two generations later. This new hardcover book from Wolfgang Publications includes nearly 300 color images from well-known author and photographer Timothy Remus. These images present perfectly restored examples of every significant model produced by Triumph during what can only be called their Golden Years.
