James was a Birmingham, England based manufacturer, which originally started by making bicycles. James was known for building four-stroke singles and large V-twins in the 1930s. However, during the 1960s the company switched its focus to two-strokes, notably the 250cc Commodore single and its twin-cylinder successor the Superswift. The company was also involved in trials bikes, and fielded a factory team for many years. In 1963 James became part of the AMC, and ceased production when the group collapsed in 1966.
