FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR. A LITTLE HISTORY...

.....
When Triumph announced that its alloy engine Grand Prix production racer would no longer be in their lineup after 1949, fans of British bikes were hoping that it wouldn’t be the end of the road for go-faster twins from the factory. The 500cc GP was based on the bike that Irish farmer Ernie Lyons had raced to victory in the 1946 Isle of Man Manx GP - hence the name of the production version T100GP. While Edward Turner was not a fan of using competition as a platform to help sell Triumph motorcycles, it was undeniable that it drove the "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" mentality. Hence, the race kit offered from Triumph to take a stock 500 alloy motorcycle and change it into a racing machine. The race kit was offered in catalogs from the late 1940s to 1955 when the swinging arm frames were introduced.
