Name the actual variety of motorcycle used in the jump... It was a post-war Triumph model, but I can't remember the model name.

Here we go again.
It was a Triumph T120 (I think but possibly a T110) disguised as a post war BMW disguised as a prewar BMW.
Please note, when McQueen stops at the checkpoint, the BMW has an overhead valve engine not the prewar side valve engine.

One of the actors in the movie was actually held as a POW in WW II.
