The B33 was introduced at the Olympia Motorcycle Show in September 1925. The Motorcycle magazine predicted that, ‘beautiful finish combined with modest price should sell the 300cc model in large numbers’. A de luxe model with leg shields was available for an extra £2. Rigorously tested by the press on both road and trial hills, the bike proved its mettle and performed very well.
