Judging by the V configuration and the colour, I'd say Harley Davidson for US forces, circa 1925-35

An Indian or an Excelsior-Henderson. But I still think it is a H-D maybe 1910-20.

Those exhausts are distinctive.

Henderson, along with quite a few manufacturers had 4 cylinder inline engines.

My post from last night seems to have gone lost.

Its not HD, or JAP, (or Indian?) because its overhead valve, and its older than it looks - about 1918 would be my guess, n.b. military colours.  Doesn't look like a Brough, and something in the back of my mind says bicycle, so is it a Rudge or a Raleigh?

This is fun, American, and there is a bicycle link - but not Rudge or Raleigh.

Pope L18 motorcycle Pre 1918 as that is when they ceased making motorcycles

It may have a 61 cuin V twin engine and unusually for the time had rear suspension.

Pope ceased motorbikes during the war to make guns then restarted making bicycles after the war.

Pope Manufacturing Company is a manufacturing company started by Albert Augustus Pope in Hartford, CT. The company began with the introduction of the "Columbia" High Wheeler in 1878. Pope bought Pierre Lallement's original patent for the bicycle, and aggressively bought all other bicycle patents he could find, amassing a fortune by restricting the types of bicycles other American manufacturers could make and charging them royalties. He used the latest technologies in his bicycles -- inventions such as ball bearings in all moving parts, and hollow steel tubes for the frame, and he spent a great deal of money promoting bicycle clubs, journals, and races. Until 1896, Pope was the leading US producer of bicycles.

Pope Manufacturing was an innovator in the use of stamping for the production of metal parts.

Hiram Percy Maxim was head engineer of the Motor Vehicle Department.

 
1914 Pope motorcycleIn 1897, Pope Manufacturing began production of an electric vehicle. By 1899, the company had produced over 500 vehicles. The Electric Vehicle division was spun off that year as the independent company Columbia Automobile Company but it was acquired by the Electric Vehicle Company by the end of the year.

Pope tried to re-enter the automobile manufacturing market in 1901 by acquiring a number of small firms, but the process was expensive and competition in the industry was heating up.

Pope declared bankruptcy in 1907 and abandoned the automobile industry in 1915.
