Edward Turner's revolutionary vertical twin only had a brief production period in the late 1930's when WWII intervened.  Post-war, the Speed Twin re-appeared in similar form with the Addition of [[telescopic fork]]s replacing the old style girders.  Maroon Speed Twins were used by the majority of [[:Category:Police motorcycles|police]] forces in Britain and were popular for their speed and flexibility.


The '''Speed Twin''' was the basis for all Triumph twins until the 1980s. Its four-speed transmission was a simple design that would be used in several Triumph models over the years.
