Brief History of the Marque: Levis
Levis had a long and illustrious career as a producer of both two-stroke
and four-stroke motorcycles, and had considerable success on the racetrack
and, just prior to WWII, in offroad events. Their fourstrokes included
a 250 OHC as well as OHV models and a sidevalve. Early two-strokes were
of mostly of 3 port configuration but some had six ports.

The bike is almost certainly a 1914 Levis Popular.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Levis 500 cc twin two stroke
I have a Levis 500cc twin 2-stroke engine, horizontally opposed, both
cylinders fire together. It is 14-18 war vintage and was used by the Royal
Flying corp mountd on a frame driving a cut down Sopwith Pup propeller.
Exact use unknown but probably never on a Motorcycle. I do know that it
was (recovered) by an Ex RFC pilot and was used on the back of a boat on
the local river. I can remember this when I was a child during the
39-45 conflict. It runs sweetly after having the Magneto coil rewound.
I cannot find any record of an engine of this type in a motorcycle, does
anyone know about this model or be interested in giving it agood home?
