About Victoria
Country of Origin:
Germany
Founder:
Victoria Werke AG (Nuremberg)
Best Known For:
Pre- and postwar light motorcycles and the elegant Bergmeister V-twin
Company History
Victoria built dignified German lightweights and, later, the Bergmeister—an air-cooled V-twin with refined manners and quality finishes. Earlier singles and two-strokes provided daily transport, while postwar models emphasized reliability and service access in a rebuilding nation. The Bergmeister’s engineering—clean castings, shaft drive, and thoughtful ergonomics—earned lasting admiration despite limited production. Victoria’s trajectory mirrors German industry: precision manufacturing, careful supplier networks, and steady improvement. Although the marque disappeared through consolidation, its machines survive in clubs that prize understated quality over spectacle, reminders that well-made small and medium motorcycles can carry a country’s everyday hopes.
