The 1946 Triumph Speed Twin, manufactured in the United Kingdom, is a revered classic motorcycle. This particular example, located in Moline, Illinois, is noteworthy for its extensive refurbishment completed in 2021 by its current owner, who acquired it in 2018. The meticulous two-year overhaul included a comprehensive rebuild of its original 498cc parallel twin engine and four-speed gearbox, as well as addressing the electrical system. Additionally, the frame and bodywork were painstakingly painted, all hardware cadmium-plated, and critical components like the Amal carburetor and fuel tank were replaced to ensure authenticity and functionality. Boasting a distinct British motorcycle charm, this vintage Speed Twin is currently active in an online auction, with a reserve not met at its current bid of $1,000.
