Police have retrieved a stolen AJS motorcycle.
The Cadwell variant was discovered in a storage structure on Central Avenue in Shipley.
Officers noted that while the vehicle appeared to be in reasonable order overall, one of its side panels had been removed.
The machine had been taken from Kirkstall Bridge Shopping Park during the previous month.
A representative for West Yorkshire Police expressed satisfaction with the outcome, acknowledging the efforts of partner agencies and a local police community support officer in locating and confirming the identity of the vehicle.
AJS produces contemporary motorcycles with modest engine capacities and designs inspired by classic models.
The brand operates within the United Kingdom under a long-established British name, though production is carried out through collaborations with companies based in China.
The origins of the marque trace back to 1909 and A.
J.
Stevens and Company, which operated from Wolverhampton.
That earlier enterprise earned recognition for producing roadsters, competition machines and successful entries in the Isle of Man TT races.
The present company operates from premises in Andover, Hampshire, and capitalises on that historical reputation while addressing a contemporary customer base.
This includes inexperienced riders, those holding Compulsory Basic Training certifications, urban commuters and individuals seeking motorcycles with vintage aesthetics but without the expense, mass or power output associated with larger-capacity machines.
