Munch

Munch motorcycles, a relatively short-lived but highly influential brand, are celebrated for their innovative and powerful designs, particularly their iconic four-cylinder models. Founded in the 1960s by Siegfried "Sieg" Munch, the company's flagship, the Mammoth, was a striking example of motorcycle engineering, blending a powerful air-cooled four-cylinder engine from a NSU automobile into a custom-built chassis. This resulted in a machine that was both incredibly fast and visually arresting, immediately setting it apart from its contemporaries. While the Mammoth never achieved mass production due to financial difficulties and the inherent challenges of such an unusual design, it solidified Munch's place in motorcycle history as a pioneering force in combining automotive power with motorcycle agility. The company's legacy endures through the enduring appeal of its unique and powerful machines, which remain highly collectible today.
