ABC Motorcycles - Demise

Demise

The shift from producing aircraft to making motorcycles was more difficult than ABC expected, and their costs – and prices – were higher than the new competitors emerging after 1920. They stopped producing motorcycles after 1923, although some production continued in Germany until 1925. Another company called ABC that was not connected with Charteris or Bradshaw produced 247 cc and 269 cc motorcycles with Villiers engines in Birmingham between 1922 and 1924.
