Description
By: Matthew Vale .
THE TRIUMPH 'C' Series twins were positioned in the middle of Triumph's range, from their introduction in 1957 through to their eventual demise in 1974.
The 'C' series included every type of motorcycle, from staid tourer and ride-to-work commuter, through fast road-burners to off-road competition/trail bikes. Popular in their day, these Triumphs still have a strong following in today's classic scene, offering excellent performance and handling in a small, light and handleable package that has excellent spares back-up.
This book looks at the introduction and development of the range, and covers the various models produced. It gives a detailed technical analysis of the bikes, and charts the development of the basic design into the Daytona-winning roadburners of the late 1960s. The book also looks at running the bikes, both in the past and today, including interviews with past and present owners. Tips about sensible modifications that can be made to enhance the riding experience for modern road conditions are described, and finally the author gives a blow-by-blow account of the restoration of a 1969 Trophy T100O.
Illustrated throughout with photographs and diagrams, both modern and period, this is a complete and readable resource for all owners of a Triumph 'C' Series twin, and the perfect companion for anyone considering acquiring or restoring one of these classic British bikes.
