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.
