The chassis for the 1929 model was that used on the previous year's 500cc and 750cc models, and was fitted with Castle forks under Brough licence. They were handsome and very expensive motorcycles - the price exceeded the annual wage for an average worker and was dearer by far than the most expensive DKW of the day. As Germany's second financial crisis began to bite, sales slowed.
