Description

A superb and rare photo of the
Victory Type 115 motorcycle
.
In 1920 Victoria launched the model
KR 1
, which has a 494 cc
BMW
twin-
cylinder
side-valve
flat twin
(boxer engine) mounted longitudinally in the motorcycle frame. The engine produced 6.5 bhp (4.8 kW) and transmission was via a two-speed
gearbox
.
When BMW started making its own motorcycles, Victoria turned to making its own engines. In 1923 Victoria launched its
KR 2
, an
overhead valve
(OHV) flat twin producing 9 horsepower (6.7 kW). In 1924 Victoria followed this with the
KR 3
, which produces 12 horsepower (8.9 kW) and has a 3-speed gearbox. In 1925 Victoria built Germany's first
forced induction
engine, and in 1926 a 496 cc Victoria achieved a motorcycle
Land speed record
of 165 km/h (102.5 MPH). In 1927 Victoria launched the 596 cc
KR VI
or
KR 6
. Based on this model the factory offered a high-speed sports model with twin
carburettors
that produced 24 bhp (18 kW), later named the
KR 7
.
