Ixion Motorcycles, one of many Midlands-based motorcycle manufacturers, operated from 1910 to 1923. The company was based in Birmingham and later moved to Smethwick, West Midlands. They produced a range of motorcycles, including models with JAP and Precision engines and later incorporated Villiers engines. Interestingly, the name Ixion is also associated with Canon Basil H. Davies, a prominent figure in the motorcycling community who wrote under the pseudonym 'Ixion' for The Motor Cycle magazine. His writings provided valuable insights and advice to motorcyclists for nearly six decades.

This 1914 Ixion was purchased by the current owner in 2018 to form part of his collection of early machines. He has used the Ixion on the Sunbeam Club Pioneer Run many times. Described as 'in very good condition' and 'a rider's machine with a very usable Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub'. It has not been used in the last year and will require some recommissioning before it goes back on the road. It's offered with a current V5C Pioneer Certificate no.723, some old photographs and details about the machine from the vendor.
