Österreichische Motorräder & Roller bis 1980

At the beginning of the 1950s, Austria experienced an unprecedented motorcycle and scooter boom. The economy flourished, purchasing power increased and the motorcycle was the ideal means of transport for commuting to work and for leisure.
This was the hour of domestic producers such as HMW, KTM, Lohner and Puch. The pioneering companies Puch and Lohner were founded at the beginning of the 20th century, HMW and KTM established themselves later, in the 1950s. They all developed motorcycles and scooters with timeless beauty and elegance.

This vivid picture book with an individual selection of the most important models of this period allows a nostalgic look back into the past, to a time of great Austrian engineering.
