Levis
motorcycles (1911–1940), manufactured by Butterfields Ltd of Birmingham, England were for many years one of England's leading marques of two-stroke motorcycle. Levis built two-stroke machines from 1911, adding a line of four-strokes in 1928, which ran to 1941 when production ceased.
The first Levis was made in the Norton works by designer Howard (Bob) Newey, but James Norton turned it down.
Newey then joined with the Butterfields, Arthur and Billy, and sister Daisy, to set up a motorcycle company (Newey later married Daisy). Their first model had a capacity of 211 cc.
