A Brief History of the Marque

Built in England from 1911 to 1961, the bicycle company was started by the Parkes family and later merged with the Raleigh group. Production of motorcycles began with Villiers engined 346cc singles, and then after WWI utilised Vitesse rotary-valve twostrokes and Villiers engines, as well as larger JAP and Blackburne units. Motorcycle production lapsed between about 1936 and 1945, after which 98cc to 225cc Villiers-powered machines were produced, including the Sunwasp scooter with a 173cc engine which propelled it to 50 mph.

SUN Motorcycles
by Roger Yates [1]

The brand has its origins in James Parkes & Son, a brass foundry making, amongst other things, incandescent lamps - hence the eventual "SUN" brand name. When cycles became popular they diversified into cycle fittings and in 1907 they formed a limited liability company as "The Sun Cycle and Fittings Company". By that time they were already producing the Sun Spider bicycle (a penny farthing) and they continued to produce bicycles alongside the production of complete motorcycles, which started in 1911/12 using initially Villiers IOE engines before settling on Precision. Sun were also prolific manufacturers of parts for other UK and overseas motorcycle companies, the latter of which would re-brand Sun products with a local name. Examples of this are: -

1913 saw the introduction of the first Villiers powered 2 stroke model, a relationship that continued through to the demise in 1959, but 4 stroke JAP and (briefly) Blackburne engines were also used by Sun well into the 1930s.

If that were the whole story Sun would be just another brand of motorcycle that somehow managed to survive throughout the "Golden Age" in spite of the recession, but alongside the proprietary engine range they developed the VTS engine following the acquisition of the Valveless Two-stroke Company. These were advanced single cylinder 2 stroke engines of 269cc with an excellent performance.

First introduced in 1916 alongside the Villiers and JAP models, initially these VTS engine machines were largely exported to such places as Portugal and Australia until war work ended production at the end of the following year.

Production of the engine recommenced in 1920 with a changed layout and a model name change from Sun VTS to Sun Vitesse. The previously vertical engine was inclined forwards, and although the regulation flat tank frame initially remained the same, that too soon changed with a more sporting triangulated shape taking over. This redesign coincided with the introduction of the an even more advanced 247cc Rotary Valve sports version of the Vitesse of which two competed in the 1921 Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man, doing very well with a 9th and 10th place in the Junior (350cc) event. This encouraged an entry in the new 250cc "Lightweight" class in 1922 but the over-lightening of engine components gave rise to excessive vibration, which caused the fuel lines to fracture. Nevertheless Gus Khun and L J Lord finished in 12th and 13th places after wrapping handkerchiefs around the fuel pipes to staunch the leaking. This lack of success ended Sun's involvement in racing but the models continued and a rotary valve Vitesse lapped Brooklands at over 70 mph in the hands of Kaye Don.

The brand name was eventually acquired by Raleigh industries, who used the Sun name for their "Sun Wasp" scooter during 1960/61, but that was just a post-script to nearly 50 years of successful motorcycle production. Although this was largely centred on utility 2 strokes, it must be acknowledged that the Sun Cycle and Fittings Company always produced machines with their own distinctive styling.

circa 1925 Sun Villiers
Hi
I have just aquired a circa 1925 Sun motorcycle. The Frame number is 6259G. The Engine is a Villiers Super Sport number XY306
I would be very grateful if you could confirm the date of manufacture and also point me in the direction of some illustrations of the bike. It is in pieces and i would like to reasemble it before restoration so that i can see where everything goes and what maybe missing.
Kind regards

my sister and I purchased this bike in Dover, my brother-in law smashed it up and it was scrapped, my questtion is....... that I have never seen another sun like it so could you give me some help with finding out a little about it? It was new, bought in Dover, had a villers 197cc 2 stroke engin, had the engine enclosed in a strimlined fairing. was painted a geenish clour and a light fawn colour, a beautiful bike to look at with its modern design all over for its time. my sister went on to buy an Arial square 4 with a sidecar, whilst i bought a Royal Enfield 500 trin. back to the sun, I have never seen another like it and from what i can see it is not listed anywhere on your site, any help you can give me would be appreciated. thank you.

Sun but dont know the year

Hello, I have a Villiers engined motorcycle which I believe is a Sun 197cc, the engine has 417D stamped on it and the frame number under the seat is RMC 942 H can you confirm what it is from these numbers? I have attached a photo of the bike as I got it and photos of the frame and engine number. Many thanks, Alistair.
alistair henry
Banbridge United Kingdom

The numbers 417D are visible on the engine, and RMC 942 on the frame.
The Villiers 419A was a 3 Speed 6E engine for the 1951 Sun, so a 417D must be close to that.

This page on Villiers ID numbers gives 801 for the Bown. Quite likely the Sun used the same batch so 50-52 would be close.

1931 98cc Sun Tourer
I wish to sell the SUN, it is unrestored , the 98cc Villiers engine runs and the Albion gear box works. Please see attached photo of the bike, as I said in my previous email it is unrestored, the handle bars do not look original apart from that I think it is all as built.

I bought the bike on 06/10/90 27 years ago it has 4 previous owners all local to me in the old buff log book which will come with the bike , I have the current V5C registration certificate ,

I had a MOT on the bike in Dec 2015 to allow me to put the original reg. number on retention, the bike now has aged related number YXG 278. I will sell the bike with or without its original reg. number OD228. I have attached a copy of the MOT cert.

The bike starts OK smokes a bit, has good brakes. That's about all I can think of.

In answer to a question posted under Villiers
Hi again, Sue A,
The Sun Cycle & Fittings Co of your home town Birmingham, were a major supplier of frame components to the motorcycle trade including Australia from 1911. They supplied the trade for many years finally fading away in the late 1950's. Amongst others they supplied Waratah which is why the Waratah looks familiar. Sun transfers are available from the English VMCC.

Sun Overlander ?
Hi , I had a Sun with the Villiers 2T in the mid 60's ( Edinburgh).I was great bike but my ignorance of the correct 2 stroke mixture meant I always needed a plug spanner to keep the plugs clean . The leading link front forks were a bit soft for road riding and the brakes were average but I guess par for the time.I could not quite get the "ton" out of it . 95MPH was the max before a plug would foul.It certainly beat my mates Triumph Tiger Cub!
Attached is the only photo I have so you have to put up with the schoolboy perched on it.
I hope this is of interest.

.............
Unfortunately I do not have any photographs currently as I am in California and the bike is in the UK at my fathers house. I will email my Dad and ask him to take some photographs of it, and email them to you, if you would like. The bike is in very good condition although it has not been run for probably 10 years. I know that it has around 3500 miles from new and I know the history. My grandmother was going to be a distributor for these bike and so this was her demo model. I was around 14 years old when I got it and stripped, painted and rebuilt it. My father owned a garage business at the time and so it was my project! That was back in 1978 and I have owned it ever since. I know that I have the original 'fold out' log book in the UK.

If you would like any additional information please contact me. I have no idea what it is worth so some guidance on this would be welcome also.
