Extra Information: Ultra rare, collector & museum quality motorcycle!
1922 Henderson Deluxe, fitted with the massive 4 cylinder 1300cc engine this is a very rare and sought after motorcycle. Fitted with a Corbin police speedo (100mph), this example underwent a quality restoration many years ago and is in running condition and to which the vendor advises it is a pleasure to ride.
One of the most charismatic names in American motorcycling history, Henderson produced nothing but four-cylinder motorcycles in the course of its 19-year existence.
Introduced for 1920, the all-new Excelsior-built Henderson Model K boasted a 1,301cc sidevalve engine equipped with forced lubrication, a twin-downtube frame, strengthened front fork and enclosed rear chain. Modifications to the Deluxe (introduced for 1922) mainly concentrated on improvements to the gearbox. Top speed was a guaranteed 80mph and with the optional alloy pistons installed a Deluxe could touch 100mph, an astonishing performance for the time and one matched by few contemporary cars. Police forces across America snapped them up. Most importantly, its forced lubrication meant that the new Henderson could sustain these high speeds with a degree of reliability unattainable by the old splash-lubricated models.
