We rather like the look of the 2019 Speed Twin from Triumph.

Four-time world superbike champion Carl Fogarty will return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed from June 23-26 for the first time in eight years. 

One of the reasons we sometimes run road tests on British-built retro machines is to compare the old with the new, but is Triumph’s new and extensively-researched 1200cc T120 Bonneville Black muscle bike the best way to go? Frank Melling brings his impressions first-hand. 

Scottish Old Bike Mart contributor and Triumph Tiger Cub enthusiast Gorgeous Biker Chick is appealing for more Cubs and Terriers to come forward to be displayed at the Cub Fest stand at the 36th Carole Nash International Classic MotorCycle Show at the Staffordshire County Showground on April 23-24. 

Eight 1957 Triumph TRWs attempted to cover 10,000 miles over the span of three countries, a motocross track, Britain’s toughest mountain pass, highways, byways and motorways – a tall order for motorcycles that are nearly 60 years old... though the Triumph TRW was designed with challenging scenarios in mind. 

A stint as deputy manager for the Vase team in the 1973 ISDT gave Chris Oliver first-hand experience of the Triumph Adventurer based team bikes... handy when he came to build a replica. 

On August 15-16, sprinting returned to east Kent, as Ramsgate reverberated to the sound of racing. 

An ongoing tale, which as yet has no end in sight, about a girl. And a motorbike. And a misfire! Rowena Hoseason loves her Hurricane but doesn't get to ride it much...

Are you ready to rock? Rowena Hoseason has discovered a collection of motorcycle songs which will probably be the Next Big Thing, go live on stage in a West End musical and end up being filmed in Hollywood with Tom Cruise taking the lead role. Or not...

Opinion has been widely divided about the merits of the modern Bonnie Scrambler. BikerBabe has to make her mind up. She loves it. She loves it not...

'Complete 1957 Thunderbird but in pieces' read the advert. Roy Stockham wouldn't usually reply to adverts that don't give a price but the phone number indicated that the bike was only 20 miles away...

So the caff-race Bonnie has a strange riding position, dodgy stoppers and is more than a little lethargic? BikerBabe reckons you shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers...

The debate hots up. Which is the Best Bonnie of all time? Jon Tait has some opinions, based around his three T120s

The very last production T160 Tridents were several hundred built to Police spec for Saudi Arabia. Steve Wilson rode a refurbished one with less than 30 miles on its clock...

If the amount your rebuild is costing frightens you, says Derek Foulds, then the solution is simple. Don't add up the numbers! Can such ignorance be bliss with a Triumph twin?

It's not really a Bonneville, but Neil Owen's individually-tailored twin-carb 650 twin might, just might, be better than a Bonneville...

All that glitters… is usually a pain in the posterior. And the pocket! David Rooney learned this lesson when he bought a beautiful-looking T20...

Daisy the Speed Twin has carried Graham Ham half around the country and has become more than a little bit famous in the process. But just how did their adventure begin?

When is CB350 Paul not CB350 Paul? When he's Speed Twin Paul, of course. The Speed Twin route to classic motorcycle contentment is not necessarily a straight- forward one, however...

Roy Bacon gave the early T150 a 5-star rating (otherwise reserved for the pre-unit twins and Thruxton Bonnie). We met two T150 owners who explain what's so special about their three-cylinder machines...

If you're talking about modern classically-styled twins, then which is actually better? Brady Davis rides both regularly, and so take us down some parallel lines...

1950's Britain was very different to today. So what was it like to run a classic bike then, a Triumph Thunderbird, when it was brand new? David Gambie remembers...

When the need arises for a modern-but-traditional motorcycle, Mike Powell didn't quite know which one to choose. So he let his Better Half do all the deciding for him...

You know how it goes: always wanted a classic bike, never could quite afford one. Dave (aka Molster96) risked domestic distress in order to fulfil his dream...

In the first instalment, Dave found and bought his dream bike (or a large box of bits depending on how you look at it). This time: wiring and shocks and going for a bus ride...

We've followed Dave's rebuild from the day he brought home a box of bits, as he attempts to fulfil his dream of owning a top-notch Tiger. Next items on the agenda: paint, and brakes...

After a day's escapades, Steve The Toaster reckons this is one Triumph which is a classic straight from the crate. Martin Gelder, on the other hand, says it might be big but it's not clever...

It's the Moment Of Truth for Dave's rebuild project. The Tiger is back in one piece and he's got to get it going. So. Will it start?

The end of the project is in sight, and Dave isn't going to let little things like the lack of a saddle and dodgy ignition timing stop him. Pass the bubblewrap, and he's away!

So Dave had just taken his first ride on his rebuilt Triumph Tiger... and then he stopped to look at it. Ooops...

It's a winner! Stuart Bidwell's Trident collected a pretty prize during the 2004 summer show season. But when he bought it, Stuart thought it was ready to roll...

After 14 months of hard labour, Dave has turned a miscellany of motorcycle spares into a real live classic bike. But now he has to make it legal...

From the Speed Twin to the first Bonneville, this glossy hardback tells the story of Turner's iconic twins...

Our Cornish correspondent, NVNL, turns his attention to a minor mechanical matter on his Triumph Bonneville. Well, it started out as being 'minor'. Honest...

With big-ticket vintage and classic motorcycles selling for mega-money, some folk have been asking if classic bikes aren't just getting ridiculously expensive. We snooped around the marketplace and found some cracking classics alive and kicking for under £3k...

This beautifully restored 1961 Triumph Twenty-One (a bike that would later be rebranded as the ‘3TA’) is the property of entrant Luise Williams. Recognisable due to its enclosed rear wheel in what some refer to as the “bathtub” fairing, the Twenty-One was a very mild machine in comparison to other Triumph bikes...

If Tonka made motorcycles, then one can’t help thinking they’d make something like this chunky and purposeful TT Special. James Robinson reports...

Writing about a 1952 Triumph Speed Twin, arguably the most handsome and sleek member of a line that began in 1937 and set a fashion, it’s difficult not to repeat what has gone before too many times. Over to Jim Reynolds...

Triumph's Bonneville was, for many, at about its peak in 1969 as it had the twin leading shoe front brake and all the other refinements gradually introduced through the 1960s and was still pre oil-in-frame. This US spec example from that season underlines the point...

This eye-catching and thorougly British display comes courtesy of entrant Des Price. On top of the union jack, in pride of place, is a lovely 1959 Triumph T110.

Though functional-looking, the Triumph TR5 is also arguably one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made – and this one’s a real stunner...

A gap in the chilly rains of late January made a test of this lovely 1950 Triumph Trophy trials bike practical. Never mind the cold, the Trophy sat there looking gorgeous, slim and minimalist in the way of machines born of competition use. I don’t mind getting cold to ride such a gem as this...

The early Triumph Tiger Cub was a funny machine in many ways, chiefly in that it (in conjunction with its smaller but very similar sibling, the Terrier) was Triumph’s only plunger-framed motorcycle and only single cylinder, too...

With a triple being developed in the wings Triumph was embracing multi-cylinder motorcycling whole heartedly... then those chaps at Honda pulled a fast one and produced an ohc-four for the road...
