  5. This is Triumph of Germany..It is a 2 stroke split single. 200 cc and 250cc. Very common in Europe..Others manufactures also made split singles.

  7. The Triumph Boss was badged as a triumph in Germany and on export except to the uk were only a few were brought in privately the 250cc model was badged as TWN. In 1957 I imported a Boss with a Steib and kept it for 9 years before selling it in the UK.I have now got another Boss,ex South African import badged as a Triumph a fact that UK triumph owners find somewhat baffleing
