In 1937 the first KR 35 Sport was built with a Columbus engine. Victoria discontinued the KR 9 after 1935.Īlso in 1935 Victoria introduced the 350 cc KR 35 B and KR 35 G models with Lackler-patented cylinder heads. Unfortunately it also increased the complexity and cost of manufacture and maintenance.
Using EOI on a nearly horizontal engine placed the exhaust valves in cooler air at the front and solved the overheating. In 1935 Victoria revised the KR 8 engine to the unusual exhaust over inlet (EOI) valve layout, and called the resulting model the KR 9 Fahrmeister. At the same time it offered the KR 15 and KR 20 Z models with 150 cc and 200 cc two-stroke engines supplied by ILO. In 1932 Victoria won the sidecar class of the European Hill Climb Championship with a 600 cc machine and thereafter offered a model with 20 bhp (15 kW) and a four-speed gearbox as the KR 6 Bergmeister. In 1930/31 it added to its range the KR 50 (side-valve) and KR 50 S (overhead valve) models, which have engines imported from Sturmey-Archer in England. 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.Īt the same time Victoria also offered the 200 cc side-valve KR 20 and 350 cc overhead valve KR 35 models. In 1927 Victoria launched the 596 cc KR VI or KR 6. 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 1924 Victoria followed this with the KR 3, which produces 12 horsepower (8.9 kW) and has a 3-speed gearbox. In 1923 Victoria launched its KR 2, an overhead valve (OHV) flat twin producing 9 horsepower (6.7 kW). When BMW started making its own motorcycles, Victoria turned to making its own engines. The engine produced 6.5 bhp (4.8 kW) and transmission was via a two-speed gearbox. 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.
