1950 250 Bdg Parts?

What is it? Clearly a 2 stroke is it a Villiers engine? Handlebars will be readily available from many classic bike suppliers.

 

Markku Korhonen.
Welcome to the family. Great old machine. Yes looks like a Villiers. There is a few Villiers dealers out there. But what a lovely machine and restoration project. do try ad get us more info on so we can follow on the restoration. Please do the restoration the builds and projects so we can follow you the job and do post plenty of pictures. Thanks for sharing the picture. And do have a great Christmas and New Year.

Hi, Markku and welcome.
Handlebar size will, at a guess, around 7/8inch or its metric equivalent, which should be easily available.
Are there ANY identifying marks/names anywhere on the bike e.g. a makers' plate on the frame somewhere. It seems to be of European origin as the rear brake is on the right (thus gearchange on the left - so not likely to be of UK origin). That engine is nothing like any Villiers engine that I have ever seen. My first instinct would be something like DMW, DKW or Puch.
Whatever it turns out to be it will be well worth restoring, though possibly not financially.
You lucky fella!!!

I'm not greatly familiar with the Villiers family of engines but I have this vague, nagging doubt about this .... for the simple but wholly unscientific recollection - or lack thereof - that all of the Villiers engined bikes that I can recall from my mis-spent youth had drive side output on the left hand side.

I'm wondering if, perhaps, the later Villiers motors weren't fundamentally German designs appropriated after one or other wars?

None of that helps, though, so my apologies. I agree entirely with Stevethegoolie that, whatever it is , it's a nice project. I think it might help if we could have more pictures and some close ups?

 

Previous post was miles off so I deleted it. This one, however, is fantastic

It's a TWN BD250H from the 1950s
Which is a TRIUMPH WERKE NURNBERG. This is the street version, they made an alloy barrelled racing version as well.

The founder of Triumph, Seigfreid Bettmann, founded two Triumph factories - one in Coventry and another in Nuremberg. These are the Triumphs from Nuremberg. They didn't do so well.

 

Nice one, Iron.
Found a picture on www.classic-trader.com of a TWN BDG 250 which looks to be a dead ringer for the OP's bike - give or take a few bits and pieces.
Well done, Sir!!

 

Well done, indeed, @Iron ! A later - plunger - version of the TWN showing the obvious "hallmark" features .... tank shape; chain enclosure; mudguards.

Nice bike, very well worth a restoration.




Edit :- added an image of teh correct model/year ;-



and an image of some 1950's handlebars :-


I'd say they look quite similar - available from
