Out of business since 1992, Hercules was a German company that was the first to offer Wankel-powered motorcycles to the general public. The W2000 Rotary was sold from 1974-77, but the firm's motorcycle history goes all the way back to 1904.
Fondly remembered by off-road riders are the Hercules enduro bikes of the 1970s, equipped with Sachs two-stroke engines that ran six-speed and even seven-speed gearboxes. With beefed-up swingarms and special air/oil shocks, the Hercules dirt bikes fully embraced the benefits of long-travel suspension, giving the bikes an edge in rough terrain.
This Hercules Sachs GS-250 runs very well and is a great foundation for a restoration.
