Show A New Motorcycle Sport Model Something new In local motorcycle motorcy-cle circles put in its appearance this week when N. J. DeSanders received their first Harley Davidson sport model motorcycle. A brand new type ofmotorcyclti this newest creation of tho great Milwaukee Mil-waukee motorcycle factories Is .what Is known In Europe as a flat twin a twin cylinder motor with tho cyl-i inders directly opposite Instead of being placed at an angle ot 45 do-1 grecs. ' The Harley Davidson sport model Is a medium weight solo mount. The motor is rated at 6 horse power and one of tho unusual features is thoi unit powor plant, which Includes the motor, 3 speed transmission, clutch ' In ono assembly which eliminates I tho customary short drive chain I which Is'used on practically all oth-i er motorcycles. The single driving chain is entirely enclosed and lubil-i cated automatcally. i Tho powor plant is hung very low in tho frame, which, with the ox-tremoly ox-tremoly low saddle position gives this machine- a riding balance so re-niarkablo re-niarkablo nnd unusual as to elicit the most enthusiastic comments from experienced motorcyclists who have tried out this machine, Tho engineers responsible for this machine had In mind tho present low grade fuels sold under tho gulso of gasoline and designed tho motor so that it will operate satisfactorily on the present day fuel. Ono noteworthy notewor-thy refinement Is the superheated manifold. This twin casting serves for both lntako and exhaust passages, and Is so arranged that a by-pass from tho exhaust plpo heats that part of the intake pipe where condensation con-densation Is most likely to occur, to a tomperaturo high enough to prevent pre-vent tho manifold loading. This now sport model Is exactly what tho name implies, a light, fast snappy, solo mount, Just tho machine for tho man who loves, tho great out doors It Is truly a" gentleman's loadster. |
