By the outbreak of the Great War, Triumph’s reputation for quality and reliability was well established, At the start of the First World War in 1914 the British Government needed effective communications with front line troops and replaced messengers on horses with despatch riders on motorcycles. A number of models were tested for suitability and the Triumph Model H was selected. With the rear wheel driven by a belt, the Model H was fitted with a 499cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It was also the first Triumph not to be fitted with pedals, so was a true motorcycle.
This Triumph Model H has been in the hands of its last owner since 2013 and has been enjoyed since its ownership. Mr Morpeth the previous owner owned it from 2003-2013. This is described as a good usable machine that formed part of the famous Geeson Brothers Collection and has been paraded at Vintage shows. It is offered with an old RF60 buff cardboard logbook, an old V5 Registration Document & a current V5C registration document. Some light recommissioning is required before use.
