Below is a borrowed text about the object:"A fabulous Japanese T. N. Nomura friction tin motorcycle toy from the late 1950’s. The toy is a rare example of a gran prix cycle, probably styled after a Ducati or a MV Augusta. The rider is wearing a red and white plaid shirt and jeans instead of biker leathers. The cycle is in red and white with the Champion name in black script to the front red panel. The front tire is black rubber which adds to this wonderful toy’s appeal. When friction motor is engaged, our fearless rider will shift his body up and down as if he is actually crouching for a speed blast down some narrow straight or raising up as if to brake for a corner. This toy probably had a flint which created a sparking action which could have been seen through the red windows on each side of the front panels. The toy is marked with the T.N. trademark to the side."On Apr-29-19 at 10:14:03 PDT, seller added the following information:To be clear:Friction works as mentioned, the guy on the MC does his moves when i turn the wheels with my hands. but not enough "force" on the floor to move forward.
