Yankee (motorcycle) motorcycle
The Yankee motorcycle is a motorcycle which was produced in Schenectady, New York by the Yankee Motor Company. This company was started by John Taylor, a long-time resident of that area.
The motorcycle used an engine that was produced by the OSSA motorcycle firm in Barcelona, Spain. The engine was a unique combination of two OSSA cylinders, that produced a twin-cylinder engine of near 500 cc capacity. The Yankee frame and running gear were produced in the US, and the entire motorcycle was assembled in the Yankee plant in Schenectady.
