Danuvia
Danuvia is a Hungarian motorcycle brand that was manufactured in Budapest from 1955 to 1963 by the vehicle manufacturer Csepel . These were two-stroke models with a displacement of 125–175 cm³.
Originally, Csepel built self-developed two-stroke engines in Hungary from 1932 to the late 1940s. Motorcycles were later developed which were sold in the USA under the name "White" (a derivation from the name of the company founder Manfred Weiss). In 1949 the production of motorcycles began in very large numbers, there were the Csepel machines with 100, 125 and 250 cm³ displacement. The single-cylinder 123 cc offered first model made 6 hp (4.4 kW) at 4500 min -1 .
Until 1954 these vehicles were offered under the name Csepel . The larger models with 250 cm³ were sold as Pannonia .
In 1963 the production of Danuvia motorcycles was stopped.
Danuvia motorcycles were never exported to Germany.
