The 1921 Triumph H motorbike was a popular model, it featured a 550cc single-cylinder side-valve engine with a three-speed transmission and chain drive. The bike had a top speed of around 50 miles per hour and was known for its reliability and durability. It also had a comfortable seat and easy handling, making it a popular choice for everyday use as well as for touring. Equipped with the three-speed Sturmey-Archer gearbox, it was this revised 4hp - the Model H - that did such sterling service in WWI, some 30,000 'Trusty Triumphs' seeing action with British and Allied forces.
SV was first registered with DVLA in 1921, when it was made compulsory to register motorcycles, as there is no early history available with this machine it could be that further research would age this bike in the WW1 era. Our vendor bought it in 2016 from the estate of its previous owner who had owned it from the mid 1980's.
Sold with the V5C.
