Hi Dell

The image of the "new" ABC by Bevan Davaidson is below and the main articles can be found at  ABC Motorcycles .
 

As someone with a passing interest in ABC I think the idea of a modern ABC is quite intriguing, but I just wonder if the venerable ABC is just a bit too obscure to make a come back in the 21st century. If one were to build a 21st Century ABC would it really look like a Sopwith ABC or would it be a little more modern looking like the Barthelemy ABC or even ,dare I say it, a Velocette Valiant? However, the Sopwith ABC design does kind of lend itself to being some sort of refined roadster or maybe cruiser with those big pull back bars, but I think I would want to have a 4 stroke engine and floor boards for my money. Alternatively, because a Sopwith ABC is a nippy little thing, maybe a fat twin two stroke with some attitude capable of upsetting the locals would also not be far from the mark. Lastly, do we think this is ever likely to happen?

G'day all.....Re the proposed New ABC here is what Harry Beanham wrote to the Editor of The Motor Cycle way back in 1926.
His ideas towards a new model ABC.
