Ridden both on the road and in competition , the bikes formed the basis for Triumph's success through the 1940s to the 1960s. With iconic names such as Speed Twin, Tiger 100, Trophy and Bonneville, the pre-unit Triumphs came as sports bikes and tourers. With their superb styling and reliable engines, there were a favourite both at home and abroad. Triumph Pre-Unit Twins looks at the history and development of these bikes, and describes the various models that make up the range. It gives a detailed technical analysis of each model. Interviews with past and present owners give riding impressions of the bikes both today and back in the 1960s.

Book excerpt: No motorcycle manufacturer is more closely associated with one type of engine than BMW: the air-cooled boxer twin or 'airhead'. It was included in BMW's very first motorcycle in 1923 and virtually every machine the company made, of every type, from radical road bike to TT winner, to land speed record holder, to 1970s style icon and even to the creation of an all-new adventure bike class with the R 80 G/S, right up to the mid-1990s. Phil West celebrates the success of the BMW airhead twin motorcycles. This book, with over 290 photographs, includes a history of the company pre- and post-War; the personalities behind the development of the bikes; profiles of each of the 'R' bikes in turn, including detailed specification guides and production numbers. These wonderful machines are regularly celebrated and now BMW itself is harking back to them with an all-new series of machines.
Download or read book Triumph 350 500 Unit Construction Twins Bible written by Peter Henshaw and published by Veloce Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to be an expert on Triumph’s 350 and 500 unit-construction twins? Here is everything you need to know about these classic machines. Alongside the headline-grabbing bikes – the Bonneville and Trident – Triumph built a whole series of smaller 350/500cc machines, with all the style of their bigger brothers, but lighter in weight, easier to ride and now cheaper to buy. The Triumph 350/500s played a key role in the company's success through the 1960s, in North America as well as the UK. The range included everything from the original 350cc 3TA, a mild mannered tourer, to the final Daytona Tiger 500 (a modified version of which won the Daytona 500 race in 1967), and the TR5T trail bike. This comprehensive book covers the complete history of these bikes, with details of model variants, advice on buying and living with a Triumph 350/500, technical specifications, and a list of useful contacts.
Download or read book Triumph Thunderbird Trophy Tiger written by Peter Henshaw and published by Veloce Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books about Triumph, but most of them concentrate on the glamorous twin-carburettor Bonneville and three-cylinder Trident. Alongside these headline grabbing bikes, Triumph built a whole series of single-carb machines that had all the style of their twin-carb cousins, but were not much slower, delivered better fuel consumption, and were easier to live with. Unlike the many books about Triumph’s history, this one is a straightforward, practical guide to buying a Trophy or Tiger secondhand. In the Veloce Essential Buyer’s Guide format, it delves into what these bikes are like to live with, and the values, advantages, and disadvantages of different models. Plus, of course, what to look for when buying one – including engine, transmission, frame, brakes, suspension, paint, chrome, and more.

Book excerpt: BSA was once the largest - and most successful - motorcycle company in the world. Many of the most famous 'Beezas' were powered by twin-cylinder engines, in both vee and parallel configurations. During the interwar years BSA built a series of side-valve and overhead valve v-twins in 500, 750 and 1000cc. After the Second World War, BSA built a family of vertical twins in 500cc [A7] and 650cc [A10] guises. Their names bring back fond memories: Star Twin, Shooting star, Golden Flash, Road Rocket, Super Rocket and the magnificent Rocket Gold Star. This is the very first book to deal exclusively with both the interwar v-twins and the postwar A7/10 series.

Download or read book TRIUMPH 1956 1962 PRE UNIT 650cc 500cc TWINS FACTORY MANUAL No 17 written by Floyd Clymer and published by Veloce Enterprises, Incorporated. This book was released on 2024-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 192 pages and more than 70 illustrations and charts, size 6.625 x 10.25 inches. This publication is a faithful reproduction of the Triumph Factory Manual No.17 for the 1956 to 1962 pre-unit 650cc and 500cc twins. The original manual states 'From Engine No.0945 and D101 September 1956 Onwards' the later reprint of this same manual states '1956 to 1962 inclusive' which would include the 650cc and 500cc pre-unit swing-arm twins built between September 1956 and August 1962. These would be the final pre-unit model years ending with the introduction of the unit-construction models identified by the DU engine number prefix. Owners of the earlier 650cc and 500cc pre-unit models are directed to Triumph Factory Manual No.11 ISBN 97815885002865, which covers the 1945 through 1955 models. Owners of the unit-construction 650cc and 500cc twins from 1962 through 1970 require the Triumph Factory Manual ISBN 9781588502667. THE VARIOUS 1945 to 1970 650cc & 500cc MANUALS EXPLAINED 1945-1962 PRE-UNIT MANUALS: The original small format (51/2' x 81/2") stapled booklet style Manual No.11 covered the 1945 to 1955 rigid frame, sprung hub and swing-arm twins and remained in print under part number 99-0836 (ISBN 9781588502865) through the mid 1960's. Manual No.11 was superseded by Manual No.17 (Ref. 800/62) which was ultimately reprinted (without modifications) under part number 99-0837 (ISBN 9781588502872). It includes coverage for the last of the pre-unit (swing-arm only) 650cc and 500cc models from September 1956 up to August 1962. 1963-1970 UNIT-CONSTRUCTION MANUALS: Manuals for these models commenced with the publication of a large format (81/2" x 11") 3-ring bound, manual part number 99-0883 that covered the 1963 (September 1962) through the 1968 unit-construction models. The 99-0883 manual was subsequently updated by the publication of part number 99-0889 which was unique to the 1969 and 1970 models. Ultimately, both of these manuals were merged under part number 99-0883/0889 (ISBN 9781588502667) as a single manual covering the 1963 through 1970 models. Unfortunately, owners of pre-1970 Triumph motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the online marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.
