During the early
years, Puch build lots of great motorcycles aswel.
Here you have the Puch Type A from 1905, with mr. Eckerl driving.
Puch always believed in the idea that if you perform well in racing,
people would buy your product easier. And he was right!
Until 1987, when
they sold the 2-wheel division to Piaggio in Italy
(shame, shame!!) Puch hold lots of titles and won many prizes
in all categories around the world. Top of it all was when Harry Everts
in 1975 won the world championship title in the
250cc enduro cross. Below is a 500cc 4-stroke Puch from 1985.
Yes, Puch build lots
of world-class products
