The four Stevens brothers had been in motorcycle manufacturing since the final years of the 19th century, but only in 1911 their first complete “AJS” motorcycle, a 298 cc two-speed model, was marketed. For the 1912 season their first V- twin, the model D, was launched. In the 1914 Junior TT a magnificent first and second place was achieved. In the following years both the single and the big twin became very popular machines. In the 1923 range two side valve singles were offered, a Standard Touring Model B and a Standard Sporting Model B1. The machine had a quickly detachable rear wheel and internal expanding front and rear brakes, which was quite advanced for 1923.
Formally owned by the late Geoff Davies past president of the VMCC. Mr Davies purchased this little AJS B1 in 2007 with the idea that the purchase would be the ideal lightweight machine for him. It is a correct numbers machine and would be the ideal candidate for use on the Banbury Run. The motorcycle comes complete with a V5C and various paperwork. It will require recommissioning before use.
