Sommer - All Models

Company History

Sommer carved a niche building diesel motorcycles with classic British lines—teardrop tanks, bench seats, and relaxed ergonomics—powered by industrial single-cylinder diesels known for longevity and thrift. These bikes are not about speed; they are about range, simplicity, and the reassuring thump of a slow piston. Owners value 2–3 L/100 km economy, tractor-like torque, and the ease of sourcing filters and parts from industrial suppliers. Frames and cycle parts are chosen for durability and service access, making long ownership realistic. Historically, Sommer shows how alternative propulsion can live happily inside traditional aesthetics: a practical, almost meditative approach to motorcycling that prizes patience and mechanical empathy over outright performance.
