Triumph Tiger Cub
What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?
Derived from the Terrier, the Tiger Cub came into the post-war world in 1954. Not merely a sports version of the 150, the 199cc Triumph obtained much of its extra speed from its extra capacity. An inclined overhead-valve single with unit construction for a four-speed gearbox driven by a non-adjustable chain, the Cub had an oval timing-side casting and a very neat appearance. It was equipped at first with plunger rear springing, later with pivot-fork type. An excellent performer, top speed was 68mph and with plenty of acceleration, it could outpace most two strokes of comparable size.
