1913 Peugeot Legere 380cc Classic Car Motorcycle

French Peugeot model Légère from 1913. In 1910 Peugeot comes out with the model Légère, this is a 330cc V-twin that looked very nice and was very reliable. This was a sales success for Peugeot. Due to the 2 cylinder and small capacity of 330cc, it was very easy to start and very easy to handle. This engine was good for a top speed of 60km/h. In 1913 the stroke was increased from 70 to 80mm and so they obtained a 380cc. Recognizable by the 10 cooling fins instead of 8 and the horizontal placement of the spark plugs. This 380cc engine was now good for 70km/h. This year of construction was also the last year of the round tank between the pipes. This motorcycle is a beautiful original bike that has not yet been messed up or restored, straight from the shed. Very nice basis for a technical restoration. The engine is loose and still has good compression.
