RALEIGH 500 MODEL 23 OF 1928 Raleigh 1928 ~ 498c.c. Model 23 - OHV A Brief History of the Raleigh Marque Founded by Frank Bowden, Raleigh built motorcycles in from 1899 to 1906, and then from 1919 to 1933 in Nottingham, England. Post-war they produced 698cc flat-twins of 1919 were true luxury bikes. These proved difficult to manufacture competitively and production ceased in 1923 or 1924. Raleigh also produced models with s.v. (Side Valve) engines of 174 to 498cc, and o.h.v. (Over Head Valves) engines of 348cc and 498cc. During the 1920's and early 30's their chief designer was D.R. O'Donavan (later associated with Carlton motorcycles) who was responsible for the successful Sturmey-Archer racing engines used in Raleigh and other marques. Seen here is a 1928 ~ 500c.c.
