Méray motorcycles

Latest change: 17, November, 1996

In 1927 an updated version of the Méray frame appeared and so did new engines:
Méray 350 OHV JAP
This bike was intended as a sports model for the public and they liked it: the long tank, with a low-positioned saddle gave it a rakish look.
Méray 350 sv JAP
The side-valve variant was intended for the businessmen.

Méray 500 JAP :
This photo was made in 1927 or 1928 at a rural Méray meeting. Several good quality pictures survived the years, like this one:

Other models in 1927 included the ...
Meray 500 side-car and the ...
Meray 680-sidecar

It is clearly visible that there were various sidecars offered.

And from 1928:
The Meray 1000. 500
An ad from 1928
A Méray family picture from about 1928. Beside Lóránd, the older are his two children: Lóránd, the younger and Róbert. Róbert became a flyer. It's the irony of history that he was shot down by accident during the World War and not in a fight in the air! Even from 1925 various official organizations used Méray bikes:
Police bike from around 1927 Military bike; around 1929

1929

In 1929 a new fork was introduced. It was a more rigid type and not so twisted. Some of its parts shaped triangular :)
A bike, from about 1930 with new fork, old exhaust pipe:

Picture from the Méray family album. Both the sidecar and the normal bike were made in the '30s.

From 1930 onwards not just the fork, but the tank, the exhaust pipe and the whole frame was developed. They also tried to copy the reliable JAP engine. The 100 per cent Hungarian-made Méray 350 and 500 variants couldn't match the previous hybrids.

In 1937 a deal was secured with the Austrian Puch company. Puch supplied their 200 engine and all the components and they were assembled here. The swan song of the Méray products had to be the German Adler "Sachs" 98 cc small motorbike which was assembled in small quantities during the War.

So this was the history of Méray in pictures. Hope You enjoyed it.
