Terrot Dijon Motorcycle c.1922 by Robert Gazay | Vintage French Motorcycle & Bicycle Advertising Poster

Terrot Dijon Motorcycle – A Dynamic Robert Gazay Motoring Poster

Celebrate the strength, innovation, and exhilaration of early French motorcycling with Terrot Dijon Motorcycle, a spectacular circa 1922 advertising poster by artist Robert Gazay.

Created for the historic Terrot motorcycle manufacturer of Dijon, France, this imaginative composition features a red-haired woman riding a bicycle at speed while effortlessly lifting a golden motorcycle above her head. Her flowing white clothing and windswept hair create a powerful sense of forward movement against the swirling cobalt-blue background.

The dramatic contrast between the lightweight bicycle below and the substantial motorized machine held overhead cleverly connects Terrot’s heritage in bicycle production with the company’s growing reputation for motorcycles. The woman’s confident pose transforms her into an allegorical figure of strength, progress, and modern mobility.

Gazay’s bold use of exaggerated scale, vivid color, theatrical movement, and simplified forms gives the poster an unforgettable visual identity. The golden motorcycle appears almost luminous against the deep blue field, while the flowing red TERROT lettering anchors the composition and reinforces the brand’s energetic personality.

With its brilliant blue, gold, red, white, black, and green palette, this distinctive vintage poster makes an exceptional statement piece for garages, workshops, offices, studies, showrooms, man caves, living rooms, and motorcycle or cycling-inspired interiors.
