Ernie Humphries and Charles Dawes founded "OK" as bicycle manufacturers in 1882. Their first entry in the Isle of Man TT, in 1912, led to a ninth place and mainly modest results followed. Racing JAP versions did well in the 1920s, and the company increasingly turned to JAP to power bikes not using an OK engine.
In the 1922 TT OK-Supreme placed sixth and seventh, with the fastest lap set by Wal Handley at 51 mph. Frank Longman was the only TT winner, in the 1928 Lightweight class with a JAP model. For the 1930 Isle of Man TT, a new 250cc machine with the cams fitted to the vertical tower made its first appearance. A road version was made available the following year. In 1934, another overhead cam OK made its debut at the Olympia show. Available in road, trials and race trim and in 250 and 350 capacities, it continued in production until early 1939.
Formally owned by the late Geoff Davies past president of the VMCC. This rare little OK Supreme was purchased by the late vendor many years ago. Enjoyed by vendor on many events. Correct numbers machine. Comes complete with a V5C and other paperwork.
