HONGKONG MOTOR PHOPCYCLING

THE "SUNBEAM."

During the last few years motor cycling his become one of the most popular, pastimes in the Colony of Hongkong and also sa a means of quick transit for business purposes. The great strides made towarde perfection in the motor cycle bare developed what was, a little over ten years ago, a rather troublesome and expensive toy, into an efficient adjunct to commerce and a reliable sonyan of pleasure. It is only of racons years thas the motor cycle has been brought to such a pitch of perfection as to make it ot practical use in a place hike Hong- kong with its steep gradients abil winding roads. In the old dayi, to go from may the bottom of Garden Road, oven as far as Kennedy-Road, on a motor cycle, would have en- 11, tremendous amount of hard pedalling to sagist the engine, which alons, could not have carried the load, and the type of machine that we knew in those days would only respond to the riders' requirements on the level. Now we see machines taking sleep and long gradients with two passengers, or a side car. with the greatest of case, and one would have imagined that the limit had been reached. But that enter- prising and well known Arm of motor manufacturers, Mesars John Marston and Co., the makers of the famous "Sunbeam” cyde, hare, so to speak, made assurance donbly mure. and placed on the market a motor cytle which will puzzle competitive firms to improve upon. The latest "Sunbeam" motor cycle may be said to be the last word in these machines. Of course. "The Little Oil Bath" is one of the principal features and the chains no the machine which has recently been brought to the Colony for de monstrative purposes, are enclosed in cases which have been perfectly fitted Gear easing on motor cycles has, in other machines, proved to be more & source of annoysate than convenience, but the "Sunbeam" people have made a speciality of fitting such in a scientific manner with the result that a stage, of perfection in this detail has been reached which it would be impos sible to surpass. The advantages of having driving chains running in oil and free from any possible chance of accumulating grit are obvious. and this feature of the "Sunbeam" alone is suficient to commend the machine to all motor cyclists.

The machine is driven by a single cylinder motor of 3 b.p., and ite capabilities with regard to flexibility are surprising. Anything from three to sixty miles an hour can be done with ease and by a special device the "Hick" of the engine is taken up, which makes the running like a "four cylinder and at the same time does not re- duce speed. Control is from the handle bars and every convenience for the driver has been carefully thought out. There is no "cat out"

and the "Sunbeam" will take any hill in Hongkong with ease, with a side car, a test which should be sufficient for the most critical Economy is another point that the Sunbeam people have carefully studied and 100 miles per gallon of petrol is the averses for the "Bun- beam three and a half."
