Simplex Automatic Motorcycle for Sale: A Piece of American History

The Simplex Servi-Cycle motorcycle is an iconic symbol of American innovation and design, with its origins dating back to 1935 when it was founded by Paul Treen in Louisiana. Interestingly, the company's founder had previously been a dealer for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and he pitched them the idea of creating a lightweight motorcycle designed specifically for young riders. When Harley-Davidson rejected the proposal, Treen decided to take matters into his own hands and designed the Servi-Cycle himself.

The Simplex Servi-Cycle was introduced in 1935 and quickly gained popularity due to its unique design and innovative features. Unlike other motorcycles of its time, the Servi-Cycle had a variable-speed automatic transmission, making it easy to ride for both beginners and experienced motorcyclists alike. The motorcycle's frame was also designed with safety in mind, featuring short rocker arms and two coil springs on top of suspension tubes.

Over the years, Simplex Manufacturing Corporation continued to produce motorcycles with continuous improvements and innovations. Despite producing motorcycles for over 20 years, the company never changed the design significantly, resulting in a consistent look and feel throughout its product line.

Today, vintage Simplex Servi-Cycle motorcycles like this one are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. This particular motorcycle has been meticulously restored to its original beauty, with a brand new powder-coated frame and parts.
