Initial output was a 125cc two-stroke under the Delta marque, followed by a 170cc model under the Delta-Gnom brand.
By 1925 they had 250cc machines on offer with front and rear brakes.
JAP SV engines of 300cc and 500cc were employed in 1926, and a 500cc model was on the drawing board.
In 1927 a new 500cc machine designed by Hans Pitzek was brought to market, and the following year a 1000cc JAP SV V-twin joined it. This machine had a Burman 3-speed gearbox and 4.00x19 tyres.

I found an old photo of my Delta Gnom with the HMW motor. My buddy on the right is riding a HMW Supersport.
Also included was an image titled "Here I am with another buddy on old rental HMW's:"
