A Brief History of the Marque: Alcycon

40 à 52 rue de la Garenne
COURBEVOIE (Seine)

Originally a bicycle manufacturer, the firm was founded by Edmond Gentil at Neuilly sur Seine in 1902. Alcyon produced a considerable variety of models from 98cc two-strokes to large capacity vertical and V twins, and produced a shaft-drive version during the 1930's. 

They absorbed several other French manufacturers including Amor, Labor, Thomann and Olympique. Postwar they produced smaller capacity two and four stroke machines using engines from AMC, VAP and Zurcher. Some sources indicate they ceased production in 1957, others as late as 1968. Another French marque, Austral, is related.

Quite extensive model information is available at JLB-Créations

Alcyon motorcycles
I have found an old Alcyon, belt drive, two speed, 200cc four stroke side valve motorcycle.  It has footboards as well as pedals to start the engine. I believe it to be between 1918 and 1924.  I do not have a photo as yet.  Could you give me an idea of what the model may be of its value.  It looks in need of total restoration, but the engine turns over and it seems to be all there.  Your help would be much appreciated.  Regards, david
