Juno was the name given to motorcycles sold by the Metropolitan Machinists Co. of Bishopsgate, London, between 1905 and 1924. Juno motorcycles were often built to order, and the company started out with a small 3hp solo and a 3½ hp forecar fitted with Fafnir engines. Later they turned to Precision engined machines, JAP and the 269cc Villiers engines. Typical of the era, the machines had belt drive, one or two speeds and Druid forks. There was a very small demand and production was limited. Post-WWI, the company resumed again, having stopped in 1915. Production was modest and the machines were mainly built to order and to customers' specifications. This trend continued until at least 1924, when they were advertising a lightweight fitted with a 147cc Villiers engine, two-speed gearbox and electric lighting. By that time the company was called the Juno Cycle Co.

This 1914 Juno lightweight machine has formed part of a private collection of machines. It is a rare survivor today, especially being from 1914. Restored many years ago it has had little use since completion. Recommissioning would be advised before use.
