A rare Island visitor - the Horex
With the gearbox tucked up under the rear of the tank - as on the early Douglas this Horex is seen at the 1953 Swiss GP held at Berne. A Horex was seen here in 1955, but briefly. Georg Braun crashed it at Brandish on his first practice lap

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1953 Swiss GP held at Berne, where a rare Island visitor - the Horex motorcycle - takes center stage. With its unique design feature of having the gearbox tucked up under the rear of the tank, reminiscent of early Douglas models, this Horex exudes an air of vintage charm. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as spectators eagerly watch the race unfold. The Horex stands proudly on the track, ready to unleash its power and agility. Its sleek frame and streamlined bodywork hint at its potential for speed and performance. Interestingly enough, this particular Horex made another appearance at Berne in 1955 but only fleetingly. Unfortunately, Georg Braun's first practice lap ended abruptly with a crash at Brandish. Despite its short-lived presence on that fateful day, this photograph immortalizes both the beauty and fragility of these classic machines. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by BikeSport TT Race Pics, it serves as a reminder that motorcycles not only embody engineering marvels but also carry stories within their very essence. This print allows us to appreciate not just the artistry behind these magnificent bikes but also pays homage to those who dared to push their limits on two wheels.
