Horex Regina 250cc 1953 factory publicity image - motorcycle photo photograph

Description

A superb and rare photo of the magnificent
250cc
Horex Regina
of
1953
, photographed during an Horex publicity campaign in 1953.
Horex
motorcycles were made in
Bad Homburg
,
Germany
. It was founded in 1923 by the Rex glassware company, which conflated Homburg and Rex to create the brand name. Horex built motorcycles with
Columbus
four-stroke engines from Oberursel. In 1925 Horex and Columbus merged. Horex developed a range of models with single-cylinder
Columbus
engines from 250 cc to 600 cc. In 1933 it added two parallel twin models: the 600 cc S6 and 800 cc S8. Both twins have chain-driven overhead camshaft (OHC) valvegear. The Second World War interrupted motorcycle production, but Horex resumed with a 350 cc single-cylinder model, the SB 35 Regina. This model was highly successful: in 1953 for example Horex sold 18,600 of them. In 1951 Horex added a 30 bhp 500 cc OHC parallel twin called the Imperator. In 1954 it added a 400 cc, 26 bhp (19 kW) version of this twin to its range. In 1955 the company replaced the
Regina
with the Resident. In 1960 motorcycle production was terminated and the company was taken over by Friedrich Münch.
