The Speed Twin 5T is a standard motorcycle that was made by Triumph at their Coventry, and later Meriden factories. Edward Turner, Triumph's Chief Designer and managing director, launched the Triumph Speed Twin at the 1937 National Motorcycle Show. It was a 500cc OHV vertical twin in a lightweight frame and the first truly successful British parallel twin, setting the standard for many twins to follow. After World War II the Speed Twin was responsible for the survival of Triumph, and several major British marques offered a 500cc twin designed on similar lines to the Speed Twin.
This bike has come from a private vendor from his collection. It is in superb running order and has had a stunning makeover into a Street Scrambler style bike and really needs to be viewed to appreciate how good it looks and how much work has been put into it. It comes with full UK V5 which is registered as Historic, 2 keys and is clear on HPi.
