Horex Logo

Horex began in 1923 in Bad Homburg, from whence the name derived - Ho (Homburg) Rex (King) - utilising the products of the Columbus engine manufacturer. The firm went through numerous changes until being absorbed by Daimler-Benz in 1960, and motorcycle production ceased. The brand was revived in 2010 and a 1200cc narrow-angle V6 was announced for delivery in the European market for 2011.

horex road bike
I had a horex road type motor cycle in 1965, All I remember is that it was loaud and very powerful , dual exhaust.It was hard to hang on to the handle grips as you took off .We really enjoyed it until my older brother got tired of it and ran it off our dock into the canal behind our house . It sets there to this day! We did not know what it really was ,value wise . I should ressurect it !Its in Cocoa beach ,Fla !

Horex Regina1955
looking for the mufflers and a few cosmetic parts
nova scotia canada


I had a 1953 Horex Enduro, the one used in the Motorcycle Magazine road test. I bought it at Milne Brothers motorcycle shop near Pasadena, Ca., & whoever adjusted the timing on that bike did it a great injustice. They had it advanced so far so that the road test only showed a max speed of 72 MPH, & at that speed it would start smoking. I readjusted it & obtained a top speed of 92 MPH.

It was a single cylinder Y port dual exhaust 400 cc Enduro, & was listed by the magazine as a "German masterpiece." They never became popular in the USA, & I believe it was because of the low top speed listed.

I'm also sending you a photo of a 1954 BSA Flash. The boy on the Horex is my son, who is now 54 years old.

The boy across the street from us owned the BSA, & took it all apart to have it chromed. When he found out the cost of chroming it he changed his mind. I had the Horex for 4 years & wanted a twin cylinder bike so we traded bikes. We carried the BSA to my house in boxes, & he rode away on the Horex. :o)

The road test people also said it popped out of gear on the road test. I had the bike 4 years & it never popped out of gear, once you put it in gear. Being a German bike it seemed to have very close tolerances, & it took many miles to loosen up the engine & the transmission. It was a masterpiece, & the last I heard of it was that it ended up on Catalina Island in the Isle of Man races.

Regards. Victor

Hallo, Sie haben auf Ihrer Seite von Horex Motorrädern eine von mir bei Ebay eingestellte Bleistiftzeichnung überneommen. Sie haben somit das Copyright verletzt. Ich muss höflich aber bestimmt auffordern, diese Zeichnung, gemeint ist das erste Bild auf Ihrer Präsentation sofort zu entfernen. Ansonsten sehe ich mich gezwungen rechtlich gegen Sie vorzugehen, oder Sie sind bereit für diese Zeichnung zu bezahlen.

I live in Miami, FL but I own a HOREX REGINA 400. I have it in Guatemala, C.A. I want to restore it and I need to know if there is a place in the U.S. where I can get parts for it.

Piston rod
I need to bye the piston rod for an old 1953 Horex Princess motorcycle 350 cc engine that I would like to refurbish.
Can you please help me to find who have such part?
Lisbon, Portugal

Is it the piston or the connecting rod you require? Ed. What I really need is the connecting rod. The Princess Model is the one commercialized in Portugal many years ago. May be it is known in Germany as Regina or Imperator. I don't have now any photos and the motorcycle is dismantled. It has a 350 cc engine but the connecting rod is missing. Thank you for your help and interest on finding this part that I must buy.
Regards,

Missing Horex motor!
1959 Horex Resident 349cc
I need a motor for my Horex Resident. The tag on the frame indicates the Frame # as 08 4913 and motor # as 08 4921.
The entire motor and exhaust system are missing. I think a previous owner who has since died, may have junked this cycle in Sparta, Wisconsin. The rest of the cycle parts are in very good condition. I would like to preserve this part of German motorcycle history! Please help me find a motor and any related manuals/literature (English if possible)
My phone # is 715 334 2315. I will call you back at my expense. Thank you, George G. Grauwels

In 1959 I owned a Horex Scrambler 350cc. At that time I was told that there had been three Horex M/C's imported in to the USA in the early 50's. There was two street bikes and one scrambler model imported. When I got mine it was in a basket with new rings, bearings ect. with it; every part, nut bolt and screw was tagged and labled. All parts were there except mufflers and I could not locate stock mufflers for it so I put BMW mufflers on it; it had up-swept pipes, one on each side. I never found a dealer that had parts available in the U.S.. The generator armature came apart and I could not find anyone who could rewind it, and I never found a replacement part. I sold the bike in late 1979 and later learned that the guy that had purchased it from me had sold it to a scrap yard for junk.

When I was stationed in Germany in 1962 I saw a lot of Horex M/C's being ridden by the people there. I was told that Zundap bought out Horex and that BMW bought out Zundap. I did see both single cylinder and horizontally opposed twin cyl models of both Horex and Zundap while I was in Germany, and at that time I could have gotten the parts that I had needed for the bike that I owned.

The Horex that I owned was a very well balanced bike and would run aprox. 75 mph top speed but would get there fast. I would suggest contacting the BMW Co. in Germany for possible information.
