The Appeal
The Peugeot 269cc 2T represents an important piece of early motorcycle history from one of France's pioneering manufacturers. Dating from around 1921, this two-stroke lightweight motorcycle exemplifies the post-WWI era when motorcycling was becoming more accessible to the general public.
This example offers an intriguing opportunity for the vintage motorcycle enthusiast, having been preserved through family ownership and indoor storage. While requiring restoration to return to working condition, it presents a solid foundation with its preserved frame, forks, and general good condition.
