This Terrot is very detail oriented; aluminum exhaust, overhead valve, large headlight, ammeter and a tank decorated with beautiful beading. The bike is a high quality and fast machine from France. It is fully roadworthy and has full papers from France.

The Terrot motorcycles produced in the early twenties had 350 cc JAP engines and archaic horizontal spring front forks. They were fitted with Terrot’s own 2-speed gearbox and chain-cum-belt transmission. Two versions were sold of this model G, the Sport and Touriste.
