Bikes at Sywell





The very attractive James motorcycle, probably 125cc two-stroke, with hand gear change lever.  Then a gaggle of small-capacity Japanese cafe racers and finally a Panther.  These were made in Cleckheaton, W. Yorks, from 1903 until 1966, and all used a sloping single cylinder engine up to 650cc (two exhaust valves?) and had huge amounts of torque.
