The Classic Motorcycle

THE WAY WE WERE IN MAY

1921

-

The Motor Cycle confirmed its earlier announceme­nt it would again be presenting a trophy to be won outright for the fastest Lightweigh­t (under 250cc) motorcycle in the year’s IoM Tourist Trophy Races.

The 1920 race proved there was much interest in the Lightweigh­t class of the Junior (350cc) IoM TT and it was hoped The Motor Cycle’s continued support would further the developmen­t of miniature motorcycle­s. The Lightweigh­t

Trophy was offered in 1914 and first presented in 1920.

The Motor Cycle hoped this would encourage the building of lighter machines for all classes of racing and road riding. And it was noted (below) the lightest machines in the top three of the 1920 Senior and Junior races were victorious.
