History of Victoria Motorcycles

1901-1968
Founded in 1886, Victoria built bicycles and began motorcycle manufacture in Nuremberg in 1901. Early models were fitted with Fafnir engines

In the first years of the 20th century also they built automobiles, though without success. During WWI they produced mostly small motorcycles and bicycles, and postwar the business blossomed.

Hello,
My name is Greg Pasqua and I was contacted by Blake Simpson about the part I needed. I sent him money for the part and never got it. I have e-mailed him several times and he always has an excuse for not sending the part. He wanted to sell me the entire bike for $300.00 and I said I wanted the part first. His e-mail is blakesimpson900@gmail.com. I would appreciate any information about this person or how to deal with this situation. I would not do business with him and I would warn anyone trying to get a part to not trust him.
Thank you,
Greg Pasqua

Vicky 3 195?? Vicky 3

Good afternoon, Recently I acquired a Vicky 3 and I am trying to find/source parts for it please. It is basically complete in regard to "tinware" but obvious things are damaged and will need replacement including engine (broken crankcase, engine # 51/144???) head stem assembly, rear wheel but if I can source these parts then the rest hopefully will be easier. I will know more when I dismantle it but loathe to do that until i know that the major parts can be found. Any help much appreciated as these seem to be a "rare beast" here in Australia Thanks

Verification
Victoria KR 21
Hi Guys,
Where can I find information regarding the verification of a 1956 Victoria KR 21 Swing motorcycle?
I am under the impression that this bike was imported new into South Africa.

........

The engine and frame numbers are the same ie 21/526. As for some pics of the bike and the manufacturers ID plate, the Victoria is now in the UK, so if you really need them, I will have to obtain them for you.

Victoria Bergmeister 1954
Hi

I am cleaning out and have a set of Victoria Bergmeister forks amongst all my 50cc parts ( I collect and restore 50cc motorbikes) IO think they would be valuable to a collector or someone restoring these bikes and would hate for them to go unused. I found your details on the net when searching for Victoria Bergmeister - Being in these types of circles I thought I would contact you to find out if you or anyone you knew would be interested in these forks.

I look forward to hearing from you.

1942?
victoria pionier 35?
Hi Sheldon: I just bought this bike a couple of days ago on eBay. I sure it has been brought to your attention in the past; but I would like to know if the frame number 12073 is 1942. The last three states here in the U.S. have used the engine number (21800) as the vehicle identification number. Would the engine and frame numbers be consistent with a 1942 production date?

Still Collectin'...Steve.

Incorrect labeling
Victoria Bergmeister
The terms "Transverse" & "inline" relate to the engine *crankshaft*; accordingly, the Victoria & Moto Guzzi v-twins are "inline" V-2 engines. Lots of mistakes in nomenclature related to this, just thought you'd want to correct your listing.

Thanks!

Hi
I don't know much about Victoria motorcycles except that I just bought one. It was the first time I ever saw one, and immediately fell in love with it. After some negotiation I paid for it and took it home. It needs some work but is basically in good condition and running. I would like to know if there are any parts lists or workshop manuals available in English. Also, can anyone tell me, or provide any information about colours. The only information about the bike, I can give at present is that it is a 1956 model Bergmeister V-twin 350cc, it looks like original black paintwork, and I think the exhausts are not original. I am living in Indonesia at the moment.

Some details: 2-carburator system, Paioli-fork, and 4-leading front-brake, Rickman tank, the other special parts are handmade, 27 horsepower, nearly 30 kg lighter than the original bike and runs fast enough to demonstrate what a Bergmeister is able for........(more in Febr. 2001 issue of THE CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE)

Hi, 'sme again
Please find attached some more photos for the V page. The one of the factory is just awesome. I wonder if anyone in cyberspace can tell us about any of the photos?
Just imagine . . . If you know what day the photo inside the factory was taken . . . could one find out the production numbers for that day and could it be that one of our bikes is in the picture???? Just dreaming? Perhaps not, perhaps it only happens in "Tinsel-town" on the big white screen.

Hello John,
Sorry about the long time since my last email. I've to explain: I always need the help of my nephew to write the emails, because I'm not able to read or write in English. I also don't have a pc. The last few weeks he didn't had much time for me.

But to your questions: First, I think its ok, to publish the pics I've sent to you. Also the 2, which I added to this mail. One pic shows the Victoria-Team in ca. 1956 -56? I don't know exactly.

I never never had been an mechanic at Victoria, but at "Hercules" in Nurnberg. The Hercules-Factory was the former Victoria factory.
 

The Victoria- moped 50ccm, viertakt, which I have, is only a single-type. It never has been build in series!

For all your technical questions, I'd like to refer to Manfred Sprenger from > the German victoria-ig. He is the "specialist".

But the best at the end: I'll send you an parcel with more photos and technical infos about Victoria, especially the Bergmeister

Hope you enjoy it!
regards
Franz Hartmann
Germany

From Sheldon: We all will patiently wait for John to send us more information provided by Franz.


I'm from Lima Peru south America, a guy here is offering to me a 1954 v twin Victoria Bergmeister in good shape in USD 4000.00

I would like to know if it its a good and fair price for this bike. I took a ride on the bike and it feels wonderful. I would like to know also the aproximate price in us dollars for the Bergmeister in your country.
Waiting for your kind and prompt answer.

If I would have known the dignity of your interest in my Vicky mopeds, ( editorial space on your site and all) I should have put together some better quality Photos together with more serious information. If you wish, I can scan all Victoria 50cc, some in show condition, made 1949 - 1968 and mail them to you with all data. There are also some interesting books containing Victoria Motorcycles and mopeds. But I know of only 3 clubs. Victoria Motorcycles are very rare and hard to find, 50 cc mopeds in particular.
Best regards -- Peter Wahlquist -- peter.wahlquist at teliadot com

These photos where taken recently in Germany. I am expecting a shipment of 8 1950's Vicky mopeds next week. These are 4 of them. The red and blue similar model is "Victoria Avanti." The powder blue Is a "Victoria Superluxus" The silver grey model is "Victoria 115"1961. I have all (almost) models of Victoria mopeds. I started collecting 1982. I live in Stockholm Sweden where we have a "Club Victoria". If you wish to know more and see more spacy vickys, let me know.

Hi,
I own a Sparta, from the early to mid 50's. I know little about my bike or the marque in general. My bike needs a total rebuild. It has a plunger rear end and telescopic forks. It is powered by a Victoria 250cc single cylinder 2 stroke motor with twin exhaust ports. I would greatly appreciate any information and particularly any pictures of this model.
Thank you, Rob Potter -- fas at xtra.co.nz

This is Ralph Walker in Virginia, and I run the Marusho/Lilac Motorcycle Register. I've always had an interest in the Bergmeister, since it was the inspiration for Lilac's 125cc-300cc V-twins of 1959-1964. I own a Bergmeister also (serial 35-2740 from 1955, purchased '83).

On my web site at I have included an image of the beautiful brochure shown below with Andrew's message, and mine is a little larger and clearer, being 770x600 pixels rather than 664x504. The color is a bit punchier too. Go to this page and read down until you come to the thumbnail.

I am way too busy with Lilac stuff to get into Victorias seriously, but I'll share one piece of trivia. In 1978 I corresponded with John Myrick of Glendale, CA, who owned the V-B that was used in that ultra-low budget TV series 'Rat Patrol'. John said they had just sparayed the entire bike, chrome and all, with a can of black spray paint. I did not get his serial numbers. -- Ralph Walker -- marusho at erolsdot com .

From Sheldon: It has been said that the Lilac and Burgmeisters were the inspiration for the very famous Moto Guzzi big block V-Twins.


August 28, 2000
From Sheldon: I recently purchased a copy of an original Burgemeister parts list. Here are a couple of photos from it. Some day when I get some time I will try to scan it and make it available on-line.
 

Victoria Bergmeister Parts List


June 12, 2000
I have an original Ersatzteiele - Liste (Parts List owners book, I think) showing the Victoria Bergmeister V35. I has neat parts schematics for all areas of this motorcycle. I found it a swap meet and bought it wondering about the history of the motorcycle. That's all I have and if someone can use it, have them write me and I'll make him a deal of lifetime.

From Sheldon: Just received the following from a friend on the North American Russian Motorcycle Association list:

FWIW, Jim Petitti, Raceway Services, Salem OR (503)588-7227) is preparing to sell a 50's era German Victoria, transverse V-twin, shaft drive, etc., and I believe he wants around $3500 for it.
Hal
NARMA #36

I immediately got on the phone with Jim and chatted with him about it. The bike runs and drives but needs cosmetic type work. Everything appears to be there and he is asking $3,400 U.S.d for it. It has the chrome gas tank and red seat, and when I described the bike in the photo half way down this page he said that sounded like the same bike. I hope someone here will find this of value. Let me know if you learn more, or if one of you buys it.

I have been watching and reading your site and find it very interesting. I thought that I would add a bit to the Victoria page. I live in Bermuda and currently own a Victoria M38 Vicky. Which as you will see in the photos, is a motor mounted on a bicycle. The bike does about 30Mph but is just fun to ride. As someone stated in an earlier message Victoria did make bikes other then the Bergmeister. I have attached a couple of photos which were sent to me by the previous owner. If any of your readers need tuning information for this particular model, I do have a word document on this. -- Zach Sagurs --zjsagurs at ibl.bm

From Sheldon: It is obvious that the previous owner wasn't located in Bermuda. What we really need is a photo of this bike on the beach... <grin>


Found on the Moto Guzzi list, kind of funny:
November 12, 1999,
Germany may have the record of building one of the 'biggest, badassed & ugliest motorcycles ever they also built one cleanest and may I say 'prettiest machine you could lay eyes on. No its not a beemer. If you look your Guzzi and squint your eyes it will give you a hint of what it looked like. But they were built in the early 50s.

It was a V-twin, shaft drive, no sharp edges on this one, all the aluminum was polished like chrome, including the entire engine which laid Guzzi style in the frame.

It is just over a year since I first started looking for "Victoria" on the net. It took quite some searching to find anything back then. What started as a "For interest sake only" soon became a passion. At least now, when you type in Victoria Bergmeister, your search program will/should come up with some relevant sites. Many thanks to Sheldon T. Aubut (biker at cwizard.com) to start and maintain a Web page . Have you checked out the new German Victoria Club page? You will find at: < http://www.victoria-bike-ig.com > I am so surprised to see so many "Aeros" still in existence. There is the odd scooter, moped and real old timers as well. WHAT IS OUT THERE? Let all of us know!

Ther is more to Victoria than Bergmeisters, I know. Since last July I have located quite a few Victoria owners, sent plenty of E-mails, wrote some letters and hopefully put some of you in the right direction for parts. Myself I still do not own a Victoria although I am negotiating at present to buy a Bergmeister. I like to think I made some friends around the world. Look at the addresses listed below and send one or two of them E-mail yourself. You never know what might come of it. Finland. Germany, USU, Canada go for it! Don't forget some of our friend are not born with the English tongue, I for one appreciate them writing in English.

Let's get Victoria Motorcycles in a few more books as well. Not many general motorcycles books that I come across feature our bikes. Vincent, Villiers, Velocette and Vespa yes but Victoria hardly ever get a mention.

Her are some interesting sites:

http:www.victoria-bike-ig.com

Manfred Sprenger holds, I believe, a register of Victoria motorcycles from around the world. I am sure he would like to add yours to the list

Are you interested in World Wide Victoria Association?

Hi Sheldon
Sunday night, a spare 5 minutes and a quick E-mail. In response to your last E-mail, the New Zealand Victoria family is growing a bit bigger. There is a "Victoria Swing" on it's way. Details as below. When I get the chance I will confirm how many Victorias there are in NZ that I know of to date.

We had a rare summer's day today, so far our summer has been lousy to say the least but today the temp went up over 30 degrees. Shan and me went for a 120 mile ride on the Honda Revere seeing the weather was so nice but Shan's "derriere" became rather sore even though the pillion seat is big and soft (Like me). It was the longest trip she has been on so far and hopefully she'll get used to it. Because of that I went to have a look at a Honda Goldwing . . . . . Nah! Too dear, Too big, Too powerful, Too high, Too long, To old, wrong colour, left hand drive, sounds awful . . . What else? . . . Just the bike I want!! Aaaand the back seat is fit for a queen. (mine). Never mind, I will wait till the mortgage is paid off.
'Till we cyber mail again

Wow what a bike! What year? What model? It looks very original.

Thanks John, I hope you have an enjoyable Monday evening. The bike is a Swing from 1955. It is 197cc. Actually I came to obtain it via a friend who saw my Bergmeister when it was still in Vietnam. He has restored a TWN and two Harleys whilst he has been there. He thought the Bergmeister was great and looked for one for himself. What he found was this Swing which was in bits at the time. Subsequently he has decided that he wants a new trial bike when he gets home and that five bikes was too much, hence he offered me the Swing. I understand they were quite innovative in their day but it didn't sell well because it was expensive. My friend actually rode my Bergmeister in Saigon and reckons the Swing is just as quick, maybe quicker. Gear change is on the handlebars which he reckons takes a bit of getting used to. It still has a clutch so its not like a Vespa ! Its also two stroke and therefore a bit noisier than the Bergmeister. I'm not sure whether you've found this attachment on the internet before. Its apparently from the original brochure. I use it as a screensaver.
Regards,
Andrew

Do you have an idea what a 1955 v-twin in original condition but not running is worth. The bike is all original and 100% there. Jay Merritt -- merritt at intelos.net

Hi John
Finally found time to reply! What an interesting story. That would look good on the W'page. I will ask Sheldon to paste it. Please tell Sheldon about your HOEREX and I am sure he will find a place for on an appropriate page of his W'site. Do what I did and in a few months you might have more information than you can handle.
Good luck!!!

250 two stroke, same as my first bike. I know, there are better bikes but . . . Great to hear from you! By the way, where do you live??

Found your web site very interesting.
My first bike was a Victoria I purchased in 1962 while stationed in Germany with the RCAF. Had not been used for many years.
It was a 250cc painted an ugly green color and had a sidecar which was a pain to use, as it kept pulling the bike in that direction. It had no windshield and the battery and rear view mirror had to be replaced. Unfortunately, I never took a picture of it. No idea what year it was.
I got fed up with the trouble of mixing the oil and gas, and soon bought a 1952 Hoerex 350cc. It was a much better bike, and went like the wind. Have had no success finding info on it.
Bye for now. -- John Seguin -- jcseguin at bigfootdot com

I will write too you in english, when my german is best when I am talking it.I have been looking on the internet, and there I met John from New Zealand. He told me about the Germen Victoria-club, and I will be very pleased, if you will tell me about the club. Years ago, I planned to make a club here in Denmark, but some people told me not to do it, when only a few people would be interested. I am riding on a KR26N from 1955 with sidecar (sidecar not for people).Hope too hear from you. -- Claus Skovbo, Denmark. -- clausskovbo at get2net.dk


John,
I have a 1954 Victoria Bergmeister and would like to get her running again. Do you have access to parts or dealers? I would appreciate any info back... Thanks... Frank in Michigan USA. -- draco1st at aoldot com


February 12, 1999
John,
Just finishes installing my internet-connection-kit and the first thing I did is send you a message. Thank you for the letter dated of november (sorry). Your home-page about victoria is looking very nice. We`re planning a homepage from the victoria-club. I will give you infos as soon as possible. My e-mail adress is: rspreng1 at rz-online.de Would you please give me the adress from the victoria owners from New Zealand for our statistics. We got about 260 adresses from Bergmeister owners from all over the world. Also we got a large stock from Bergmeister and Aero spare parts: gasket sets, wirings, pistons, rubber parts etc. etc. I`m shure the victoria-owners will be lucky to hear that. -- Manfred Sprenger, Miehlen, Germany -- rspreng1 at rz-online.de


November 25, 1998
If you are looking for information about Victoria Bergmeisters, I know of man that you should get in touch with. He found me when I was looking for information about her. He told me of the Victoria Rally in Dauborn, then sent me alot of pictures, unbelievable pictures. Juha told me about the ride through parts of europe, something that I could only dream of from New York State. Juha is in Finland, his e-mail is [deleted] tell him that Mary said hello. I am attaching a picture of our Vicki. She is a 1955, has a 345cc3, 21 hp engine. Resides in Smithboro, NY, USA with Ken Rogers. -- Mary Yaple myaple at clarityconnectdot com


Regarding: "Victoria" motorcycles
I used to have two. First one a 250cc single banger two stroke with twin exhaust. 1954?? Heavy in weight, rather slow 55/60 mph, always managed to break a ring at the wrong time. Great machine I wish I still owned it.

Last seen Christchurch, New Zealand late 1960. The best of the two was a 350 V twin 4 stroke. Wow what a bike. Had it repaired but the bumms did not know what they were doing, nor did I and ruined it. Still went but never got the timing right. Back in those days german bikes just did not exist in the minds of Kiwis. Being a young lad, I foolishly sold it. (Also last seen in the late sixties) I just like to know if there is still a Bergmeiter out there. The only reminder, apart from some poor photos, is a brand new tank badge somewhere in a box in the garage. Love to hear from anyone regarding these bikes.
Regards

More from John:

This picture was taken in 1967. The bike in the front is the VICTORIA 250cc Single cylinder two-stroke. The year of first registration would be about 1953 / 54. This bike was stripped down for a paint job when purchased in 1965. Amongst all the black (and an occasional maroon) bikes of that era this one stuck out like a sore toe. It would have been the only White bike in New Zealand. (The actual colour was a very, very pale grey.) It is unsure if this was a 247cc or the 248cc KR Aero model. Unusual was the single cylinder with a twin exhaust. Clutch plates were layered with cork.

In the rear is the VICTORIA BERGMEISTER 350cc V-twin four-stroke. The first year of registration in New Zealand must have been 1955. This bike was purchased in 1966 but unfortunately, due to the lack of knowledge regarding European bikes, was sold soon after an attempt to repair the engine. Looking back the problem could have been fixed with a little bit of patience. This bike is believed to be sold to a collector. Who knows it might still be 'Alive'. As can be seen from the picture, the clean lines of the engine are a joy to the eyes. A very 'Clean' looking machine, even the carburettor is enclosed. Back in those days, the question of "Where is the chain?" was often asked. Yes folks this is one of the rare ones with a drive shaft. Enjoy the picture.

Note from Sheldon:This probably is the start of an International Victoria Owners Association. We will have to see how many people are interested. It there are enough I will set it up somewhat like the North American Russian Motorcycle Association web site at http://www.cwizard.com/narma [404].

I'm in and you can use my name. One of my Burgmiesters was on the TV series Rat Patrol. This bike also has a tear drop tank vs. the squaresh tank. -- John Myers jmyers2 at earthlink.net


Hi John
It's good to 'hear' from you again. I like that "I'm in" bit and thanks for being able to post your name. When you get a chance, let us know what state your bikes are in and a photo if possible.

Rat patrol, I am probably wrong, but that reminds me of a series based in North Africa, WW 2, from wayyyyyy back?? Please kill my curiosity. -- John van Soest Christchurch New Zealand. shan at netaccess.co.nz


December 6, 1998
Hartmut and Sheldon,
Some months ago I let you know that my old bike was still "Alive". After 33 years I was reunited with my old Bergmeister on 3-12-96.

It took about 1500 Km (930 Miles) and I had only two days to do it in. It was worth the long trip. The bike needs some repair but basically it is OK. Definitely not for sale. How can you tell a non believer that metal, in a certain shape, can have a tremendous effect on you. Seeing that bike after all those years did touch a nerve. The owner, Norman Hayes, also has 3 BMWs including a 1967 R60. Three Indians, (Including the Monroe Special, see attached files). Villiers, Cyclemaster, Honda, Crouch Special (Homemade with Austin 7 motor) plus another 20 or so of all ages and makes.

I am setting up a proper database of Victoria owners known to me. I have also written to Manfred Sprenger (German Victoria Club) I will keep in touch.
