A superb and rare photo of the Terrot motorcycle with rider Perrotin before the start of the French Grand Prix at Montlhery in 1925.
Terrot was a motorcycle manufacturer in Dijon, France.
Charles Terrot and Wilhelm Stücklen had founded a machinery factory in Cannstatt, Germany in 1862, and Terrot added a branch factory in Dijon in 1887, and in 1890 the Dijon factory added bicycles to its products.
In 1902, the Dijon factory
made its first motorcycle. It was powered by a 2 bhp engine supplied by Zédel
of Switzerland. After that, Terrot built motorcycles with engines from 173cc to
498cc from proprietary engine suppliers including the Swiss manufacturers
Terrot produced its first twin-cylinder model in 1905. From 1915 onwards, it supplied 500cc machines to the French Army. In 1921, Terrot launched new two-stroke models: the 175cc model L and the 267cc model E. In 1925, the latter model was developed into the 250cc model F. From 1923 onwards, Terrot also produced four-stroke models. First with a 350cc JAP engine. From 1927 onwards, also with a 500cc engine. In 1926 Terrot began to make its own four-stroke engines. In 1929, the company produced its 100,000th motorcycle.
