Writing on December 3rd after the machine had undergone a searching test on snow-covered Camberly Heath, the English journal (which is not likely to he biased in favour of American manufactures) said: Although it is not the first American 350 c.c. machine to reach this country, the arrival of the 340 c.c. Harley-Davidson has been particularly keenly anticipated on account' of the high reputation in Britain of the big twins from the same factory. - The fact that Harley-Davidson forks figure so prominently on racing big twins at Brooklands is one of the finest compliments any firm could desire. The 850 c.c. Harley-Davidson is an ideal colonial machine, and it is only fair to acknowledge to America the full credit for evolving it. The massive frame, sturdy and_ simple engine, enclosed valve gear, clean handle-bars, foolproof gCars, High’’ground ■'clearance, and, above all, the superlative steering and- poise,- are just the .Qualities to commend the machine S-ery Strongly to the overseas buyer in search for a small solo machine. Like earlier Harley-Davidsons, it is a machine which will stand a great deal Of abuse, and should last without expert attention for a very long time. It has peculiar points which the British rider may rather hastily criticise u'ntil he has sampled the machine for some time but it is safe to pre'dict that; he will end on a"-Uotf! of'praise.
