Triumph 350 & 500 Twins (1957-1974) - Essential Buyer's Guide

Alongside these headline-grabbing bikes, Triumph also built a series of smaller 350 and 500 cc machines that possessed all the style of their bigger brothers, but were lighter in weight, easier to ride, and now cheaper to buy, too. This straightforward, practical Essential Buyer's Guide contains all the advice you need on buying one of these classic motorcycles, from the earliest Twenty-one, to the final Daytona and TR5T.
It reveals what these bikes are like to live with, assesses the values, advantages and disadvantages of the different models, plus, of course explains what to look for when buying one - engine, transmission, frame, brakes, electrics, paint ... everything you need to know!

Covers the period 1957-1974, and the following models:
- 1957-66 Twenty-one/3TA
