This is such a gorgeous machine I had to give you two looks at it.

 

Point for manufacturer. Point for engine manufacturer.

 

Clues: it's not a Brough (or Superior) or NUT or Dene.

 

Even more interesting news once we have a winner....

Mike:

 

I dont know much about it, but it is lovely

 

Thanks for the pictures...

 

 

Here is my guess:

 

The license plate on the front mud guard should point to the UK....

 

The closest I remember is the Brough Superior 1930, but it only had twin exhausts.

JAP engine

Coventry Eagle?

[Frenchbob]

JAP-engined Zenith.

I suspect BigJ is the closest, as I think it is the same engine as the flying eight. But no coconut so far.

I could be picky and say "British" Anzani but I'm not so nasty. Usually. Two points, Forummeister.

 

Now for the good news. This bike can be yours.....

About 1/3rd of the way down, just above the photographs.

 

How about another point for the auction price?

 

I guess £38,000.

Its a lovely bike- I expect you would have had to be bloody rich to own one in the 1920s.

 

The 4 silencers look wicked.

Anyone up for forming a consortium to bid? We could store it in my garage and I wouldn't charge rent.....
