A motorcycle make/model called "Standard"

[rhbell]

Recently picked up a card with motorcyle theme - check avatar for picture. The bike appears to be something called a "Standard" according to tank. Searching the WWW revealed nothing. Anybody ever heard of an older make / model call this?

I found a picture of a "STANDARD Rex Sport" in a book here. This one was manufactured in Germany about 1930, but I can't tell if it's the same one. The logo is a brown cat (female lion, mountain lion, that type of cat) on top of the word "Standard".

The specs for this one were:
Model: Standard Rex Sport
Capacity:491 cc
Power Output: 22 bhp @ 4800 rpm
Weight: Not known
Top speed: 81 mph (130 kph)
Country of Origin: Germany

Appreciate it. I did a more thorough search as well based on your input and came across this site which also had some pictures. www.autogallery.org.ru/mstandar.htm (the site certainly has some (IMO) unwarranted political bias to it but it does give a decent write-up on Standards)
Appears to be the bike from what I can tell. As I said, just picked up the card since I like to collect oddball kinds of things and liked the picture and wanted to know more.
Thanks for your help
