James 1932 D11 196cc Two-stroke

THE FAMOUS JAMES No. D11 196 c.c. SUPER-SPORTS DE-LUXE TWO-STROKE

The "James" Dll 196 c.c. Super-Sports represents very fine value in our Lightweight range of Machines. The Super-Sports Engine has, since it was first introduced, become a firm favourite, due to its splendid all-round performance. It is capable of covering long distances at high average speeds, and at the same time makes an ideal mount for business calls in traffic areas. The wonderful steering qualities, consequent upon the use of the patented frame construction, make it perfectly safe under all conditions of road or traffic. No other machine offers such complete specification and detail refinements as will be found on this model at the remarkably low price quoted.
