Take a look: 1960 DMW Trials Bike

By Team TMX on 22nd Mar 17

This little beauty from the Sammy Miller Museum is a 1960 DMW Trials Bike.

DMW stands for Dawson's Motorcycles Wolverhampton and founded in 1940.

The company took over Ambassador Motorcycles in 1963 and continued production until they closed the company in 1965.

Although DMW ceased motorcycle production in 1971, it was noted for trials and racing machines and many DMWs can still be seen at UK events today.

The model uses a Villiers 32A power unit. Note the Earles type front forks and the 4 speed gearbox.

DMW were also heavily involved with motocross and road racing to promote and sell their products.
