In Germany – 1953 Triumph Speed Twin 5T Custom

In Custom, England by AbhiLeave a Comment

Built by BERHAM Customs out of Berlin, Germany, this Speed Twin has been bobbed on the original frame and I think it looks pretty damn good. What do you think?

The Speed Twin was introduced in 1938 and it lasted until 1966. ’53 brought some changes as Triumph replaced the generator and magneto with an alternator and coil ignition from Joe Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. The 498cc parallel twin engine was good for 27 horsepower. Modifications to this bike include a Bonneville tank, Girder fork, custom seat, and dual Amal 928 carbs.

Here’s a video that makes no sense to me, but it shows the bike in motion:
