Very interesting machine though - with the Garrett Blower attached and
carby bowls mounted so low on the left side - definately not for left hand

There are some queries on this site from NZ/Australia re Zenith.
A chap who belongs to one of the Kiwi Vintage or Veteran car clubs (whichever
one it is which has the really old cars) has a restored Zenith - perhaps
1908-1912? - with a 500cc JAP single engine. I just met him at a
function in the Manawatu district of NZ about a decade ago, and I think
he may be from the South Island. Someone in NZ vintage or veretan
car clubs will know who he is

I came across this frame at a swap meet, trying to get as much detail
about it as possible. Frame number is 10424.

I don't know of
a Zenith club, but suggest contacting the larger clubs in Australia and
the UK to ask for contacts with other owners.

The following are numbers taken directly from the motorcycle:
Engine# GT I 80 436 Frame # 11004 Plate #
YH 3761. It also has a metal plate that reads Trademark 1912.
I don't know if this is the year the motorcycle was manufactured or not.
I am not sure what the year of the motorcycle is. I hope that this
information if helpful. Looking forward to hearing from you if you
are able to help me. Thank you so much for your help.

As it turned out, the email above related to a stolen motorcycle. Read
on...
1949 Zenith M.C. Range Sales Brochure. Includes: LC1 Sports 250cc Model,
750cc De Luxe Model, CP1100 cc Model C.5 Standard Model.
Made in Finsbury Park, London from 1904 to 1950, Zenith motorcycles
had engines by Blackburne,
Fafnir,
Green, Green-Precision,
Villiers,
JAP
and Bradshaw, usually with drive by Gradua belt
and pulley system which was retained into the 1920s. Notable models include
an oil-cooled horizontally opposed Bradshaw-engined twin of 1922, and JAP
V-Twin engined racing bikes which achieved considerable success.

Picture from the first world war
zenith Unknown
Just thought you might like this photo of my grandfather on a zenith
of some kind. He was a captain in the Army in the first world war, where
he was awarded the Military Cross, and he was a Squadron Leader in the
second world war. His name was Reginald Mayo, and his grandfather Edmund
Mayo was the founder of the Coventry Eagle
Motorcycle company, which started life as Hotchkiss, Mayo and Meek,
Hotchkiss being an American machine gun designer and manufacturer.

Zenith information; Super Kim and Argentina
Zenith KTOR supercharged
There was a query about 'Super Kim'; I have
written extensively about this machine on my website; www.thevintagent.blogspot.com
I have also researched the life of Freddie Barnes; search around my
site. The history of 'Super Kim' is now almost fully documented,
although there is a period from 1925-1929 which is vague. The Sigrand
family may have purchased this machine directly from Zenith, or did they
buy a used Brooklands machine? I'm in contact with the family in
Argentina, and we're trying to work all this out.

Spotted this today.
Zenith not sure
I was working today, at a place called Zenith House in Manchester.
They had this in the foyer. Sign says it's a 1912 Zenith. It's a JAP V
twin, with a variable seed belt drive. Apparently it was the racing version,
but this one had lights and a sidecar.

A friend recently came across a photo of his great uncle Sim sitting
astride a Zenith Vee twin sidecar outfit. The registration number is BC
1595. Clearly a Leicester, England number. Does this machine still exist?

Do you have any information regarding this motorcycle ?
I saw it years ago in an auction site - I lost the best picture
of it ... Any details would be appreciated... Thanks, Greg Asmussen - Australia.

It would be interesting to find out the history of the bike - I think
from memory it was used in some speed trials in Brazil at some stage of
its life......

Where is it now?
Zenith-Blackburne
A few years ago I sold a Blackburne engine. Some time later another
chap had bought it and contacted me, saying that it was one of only four
made, a 1000cc and fitted to a Zenith motorcycle. He told me that it was
rather famous in it's time and set a lot of speed records back in the early
20's. He had reunited the engine with the frame and built the bike; he
invited me to ride it at Brooklands but I was too unwell to do so. Curiosity
is making me wonder if anybody knows anything about this bike and where
it is now.

Hi, we live in New Zealand and would like to know the email address

unrestored factory race machine of about 1912-14 (single cylinder JAP).
Missing very few parts, but would appreciate the right contacts. Will post
some photos hopefully soon. Thank you very much for any help, as it is
very hard to find the right sources from this side of the world!

Zenith OHV JAP Racing single
Here are the promised photos, hope they are of a decent quality. The
bike is an OHV track racer, however it has very different handlebars to
the pictures of racers we have seen to date. These handlebars appear to
be very genuine though. The frame/petrol tank/ and engine (not pictured)
are also off the racing model. Frame number is 771, no other numbers appear
to be visible. Does not have "Coffee grinder" unfortuneately. Would love
to gain any knowledge from readers of this article, or leads to find appropriate
parts.

My Dad raced a Zenith in 1929 on Forbury Racecourse in Dunedin against

I've included 2 images, one of the racetrack with my father racing
the moth and a closer view of him on one of his bikes [a New
