Ariel 1958 Square four 997cc 4 cyl ohv 2911 € 14.950Ariel 1958 Square Four âMK IIâ 997cc 4 cyl ohv Frame # CGM1960 Engine # NML1311 Ariel unveiled the all new SQ 4 to the motorcycle world at the Olympia show in 1930. It was a brainchild of design genius Edward Turner and was powered by an OHC engine with 2 parallel crankshafts, mounted in a crankcase transversely across the frame. The two cranks were geared together in the center uf the unit, so in effect there were two vertical twin engines running in opposite directions. The result was a silky, smooth power output with instant response to the throttle. In 1932 the capacity was increased to 600 cc and in 1937 a new 4 appeared, this time o ... |

They had come to the end of their lives and were to be replaced for 1930 by the new and less complicated side-valves. Sales of the rugged and dependable Big Twins had stayed relatively high though in 1929: more than 10,000 were shipped to dealers worldwide. The 1000 cc model J was less in demand with under 3,000 sold. The intricate muffler system was convincingly ... |

For many enthusiasts the modern Harley-Davidson motorcycle truly came into its own in 1925 when the entire range was fitted with new frames that lowered the riding position by a full three inches, allowing smaller riders to handle the bikes with greater ease. The wheels became smaller in diameter and the petrol tank got a more dynamic teardrop shape. All in all these new models looked much more modern than their predecessors. For 1926 wide ... |

In road-going form this remarkable engine with bore x stroke dimensions of 77 x 105.5 mm remained in production right up until WW2. In June 1930 the Longstroke model was restyled, it got bought-in welded steel petrol and oil tanks. It was designated â Lionâ because the Lion was one of the IC ... |

This compact unit could be bolted into the frame of any ordinary pushbike: The “Motosacoche” -which approximately means “engine-bag”- was born! Very soon the quality and practical utility of the invention became known even far beyond the Swiss territory. Gradually the engines became bigger and more powerful, twin cylinders were produced and the initial idea of a motorized pedal-bike was given up. The factory built complete motorbikes under ... |

ACE 1921 1265cc ioe four cyl 2911 n.o.t.kACE 1921 1265 cc 4 cylinder IOE engine # A 2366 William Henderson created the fabulous Ace after he left the Excelsior Company in 1919. With growing discontent he had witnessed that the Excelsior engineers added more weight to the four between 1917, the year of the Henderson takeover, and 1919, without really working on better engine design or tuning. So he left and with financial backing of bicycle maker Max Sladkin he designed a faster, lighter and more graceful machine than the Henderson had grown into. The Ace was an instant success, so much even that the company went almost bankrupt from a shortage of cash to finance the enormous growth ... |

This breakthrough design served as a blueprint for future classic British motorbikes. Public demand for more power increased every year and in 1949, Turner upgraded the bike to become the 1950 6T Thunderbird. During the 1950s, Triumph racked up a number of victories on the Bonneville Salt Flats in the US. For example, in 1955, Johnny Allen rode his Triumph streamliner to 193.30 mph, setting the record for the worldâs fastest motorbike. The next year, he outdid his r ... |

It was a family business that concentrated on sound motorcycle engineering principles. Their first machines were lightweight four strokes; after that a line of top-class 250 cc two strokes was brought out. In 1924/ 25 Percy Goodman designed the 350 cc overhead camshaft model K, a machine destined to win many TTs and other races, starting with the 1926 Junior TT that was won by Alec Bennett, who finished ten minutes ahead of the second placeman with an average speed of 66.7 mph. A remarkable feat, since the Velocette b ... |

The twin could be ordered with magneto ignition (âFâ) or battery and coil ignition (âJâ). Changes to the valve gear led to extended valve overlap, resulting in significantly more power. The output now was 14 HP @ 3,200 rpm. Compression ratio was relatively low at 3.75:1 and the unladen weight of the solo machine amounted to 150 kg. The 1917 catalogue was by no means shy about the engineâs performance: ââ Pepâ is the one word which b ... |

The genesis of the model came with the introduction of the 650cc Thunderbird Model in 1950. This was released to meet the demand for higher-capacity motorcycles, particularly from the United States, Triumph’s largest export market. In 1954, the T110 model was introduced, a higher performance version of the Thunderbird. The success of these models and the 500cc TR5 Trophy led to the creation of a 650cc TR6 Trophy model. The TR6 was develope ... |

The Nuremberg mechanic Eduard Pirzer also joined the company and together they founded the “Velociped factory Goldschmidt and Pirzer” to produce Ordinary bicycles along Br ... |
