The history of the brand


famed airplane pilot Louis Blériot tried his hand at motorcycle production for a time. After World War I, his company was faced with reduced demand for military aircraft, and Blériot launched a top-of-the-range motorcycle with a 500 cm3 vertical twin-cylinder engine. The B20 is distinguished by its solid wheels. It was designed to be coupled to a sidecar. Mechanical components include a 12 hp engine, 3-speed gearbox and belt drive. A rear suspension could be fitted as an option.
