And the buyer has been a Dutch private collector, which has been able to pay the not inconsiderable amount of 26,000 pounds sterling (almost 27,600 euros) The bike is said to be made in 1899, although my motorcycle history books say the first Raleigh was built in 1901.
Its owner was a ninety-year-old man that he inherited his father's motorcycle. Mr Day, whose father was the founder of the Vintage Motor Cycle club, regularly rode the bike on the Epson Downs Pioneer Run for motorcycles from before 1915. The local government of Nottingham, where the bike resided, have lamented that they were unable to take ownership of the bike, but they don't seem to have shown much interest in it before.
Raleigh began its journey as a motorcycle manufacturer in the early 20th century and lasted intermittently until 1971. With its headquarters in Nottingham, UK, it began manufacturing bicycles long before motorcycles. In 1901 the first Raleigh was built with a Schwann motor placed on the front wheel to which it transmitted the movement by means of a toothed belt. Raleigh made motorcycles until 1906, when it stopped making motorcycles due to a drop in sales. Later it would return to production in the periods 1920-1933 and 1958-1971. The photo that illustrates the post is of a 1922 model.
