Introduced in 1919 the WF and WJ Sport series were technically advanced machines intended to appeal to riders seeking good performance in a more compact package than that offered by the vee twins. At their heart was a horizontally opposed side valve twin engine displacing 584cc built in unit with the three speed, hand operated gearbox with primary drive via helically cut gears. The power unit was mounted longitudinally in the frame and acted as a stressed member. With a wheelbase of 57 inches and weighing only 250lbs it was 2 inches shorter and 70lbs lighter than the vee twins resulting in lively performance combined with easy starting and exceptionally smooth and quiet running. The Model WF was offered with a magneto ignition system while the WJ featured battery lighting. Both models were equipped with footboards, trailing link front forks and 26 x 3 inch tyres fore and aft.
The example offered, a WF variant, has spent virtually all of its life in North Scandinavia and is offered in good original condition in all respects. It is fitted with a contemporary full lighting set and Klaxon type horn.
