La Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre 'FN' began as a munitions manufacturer, turning to the production of motorcycles in 1900. Today the Belgian company is best remembered for its sensational four-cylinder models. Early machines employed 133cc clip on engines and the motorcycle range quickly expanded to include 362,412,596 and 748cc machines with in line four cylinder models being a feature of the range as was shaft drive, a system that the company had successfully applied to their bicycles before applying it to their motorcycles.

1923 the model m 50 was marketed: the machine got chain drive and the flywheel was enclosed by the crankcase, to name a few new features. but the days of the FN four were almost over now. The new and successful 348 cc ohv single m 60 was much cheaper and almost as fast. At the end of 1926 m50 production came to an end.

This extensive and fine restored high quality four cylinder FN runs smooth and fine.
