1912 HENDERSON FOUR

USA

Unlike other early twentieth-century motorcycles that used single-cylinder engines, the Henderson Four boasted a
larger four-cylinder engine, inspiring the marque’s name. An engine of this size was more common in cars and
demanded an elongated frame to support it. This extra length also allowed a second saddle for a passenger to fit in
front of the rider. This rare first-year model is rumoured to be one of only six left in existence.

ENGINE: 965 cc inlet-over-exhaust in-line four
