Motorcycle Overview
FROM THE DICK SHAPPY COLLECTION: The 1912 Yale Model 25 7 HP Twin
The Yale motorcycle was built by the Consolidated Manufacturing Company in Toledo, Ohio after they acquired the rights to the California motorcycle.
George Wyman's 50-day ride across the U.S. in 1903 on a California was the first such journey by any motor vehicle. The owners of the California Motor Company thought it was a perfect time to sell out and made a deal with the Consolidated Manufacturing Company. There were copyright issues with the California name, so the brand name was changed to Yale-California. The first Yale was identical to California, but in 1906, it revealed a much-improved design.
+Professional show quality restoration completed for 2010 Newport Concours d'Elegance. Absolutely stunning!
+Engine No: 1122
+Fondly known and advertised as the Gentleman's Machine."
+Manufactured from 1909 to 1915.
+Leather Troxel Mfg Co. Seat from Elyria, OH
+First year of the signature horizontal cylinder cooling fins
+61 CI air-cooled V-twin engine
+The Watt Mfg Co. Columbia Model H headlight from Chicago, IL
+Bosh magneto ignition
+Heitger carburetor
