Bennett & Barkell or B & B motorcycles were manufactured in Australia from about 1910 to at least 1917 by Bennett & Barkell Ltd. of 234 Pitt Street and later 124-132 Castlereagh Street, Sydney. As was the case with most early Australian motorcycle companies, their machines were manufactured primarily from British parts. The B&B machines used JAP engines and Chater-Lea frames. They included 2.5 hp., 3.5 hp. 4 hp. (500cc), 6 hp. (770cc) and 8 hp. (1000cc) machines. Two piece tubular frame with engine as a stressed member. Used Druid forks and had large diameter (26 inch) wheels. Notable for a unique suspension system coupling the seat to the footboards (from ~1916).
