VINTAGE HAWKER  MOTORCYCLE ENGLISH
Hawker were motorcycles produced from 1920 to 1924 by Harry Hawker and
Tom Sopwith at the Sopwith factory at Kingston-upon- Thames, Surrey.
Hawker Motorcycles are related to ABC Motorcycles
1920 The two men, who are best remembered for their aviation work, announced
their first model at the end of December. This was the Hawker, powered by a 292cc
two-stroke engine driving with twin-chain primary drive and belt final-drive. It was
to be sold by Jarvis, a big car firm in Wimbledon.
1921 Late that year the first model was joined by three more. All with Blackburne
engines - a 348cc and a 545cc sv, plus a 348cc ohv, all driving a three-speed
Burman gearbox with chain drive.
1922-1923 The range remained the same, with the addition of a model with a
249cc ohv engine.
1924 The range reduced to the four-strokes that had been constructed in 1922. It
was their final year of motorcycle production, and after that the Hawker firm
continued with aircraft, right up to the modern-day Harrier.
