Triumph announced a new model for 1914, called the Junior within the company but commonly known as the ‘Baby’. It was powered by a 225cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine with belt-drive. Interestingly, although it featured a remotely operated two-speed gearbox, it would not gain a clutch until 1923, when it also gained an extra 25cc. Other parts followed contemporary practice, with a belt-rim rear brake and calliper front, a rocking fork, valanced front mudguard and an attractive cylindrical fuel and oil tank. The end of hostilities in 1918 was followed by a surge in demand for personal transport fuelled by returning servicemen with gratuities to spend and a newfound knowledge of mechanised transport. Triumphs were well-placed to meet the demand, chiefly with the rugged Model H, which had served so ably as an army despatch bike, and the affordably-priced Junior. Production of the latter finally ceased in 1925.

This 1921 Model LW has been professionally restored to an exemplary standard in the workshops of the National Motorcycle Museum, and has subsequently spent time in its reserve collection, some of which is being sold to make space for a new workshop. It remains in outstanding, potentially concours-worthy condition, although it will need some checks, fettling and running-in, as it has not been used significantly since the restoration. The sale includes a V5C.
