An MC in the 20's in New Zealand
« on: July 09, 2009, 11:35:48 PM »
This motorcycle is riden by my grandfather and his brother in about 1920 in New Zealand. Being so far from main manufacturers could suggest that the bike is likely to be a British import or a local product.

If anyone can identify this motorcycle I would be grateful. I have a much higher resolution picture which doesn't really show much more detail.

Hi Duncan,
I think you'll find that your photo shows a bike from the Triumph range around 1927.  I'm not sure of the model, but no doubt a Triumph expert will advise.

Hi Duncan,

It's a 1928 277cc Triumph Model W.
