Dufaux 1905

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dufaux 1905 was a trial motorcycle of the Swiss manufacturer Motosacoche with a unique seven-cylinder - radial engine of the 1905th

The motorcycle consisted of a conventional bicycle frame to which the seven-cylinder radial engine was attached directly to the rear axle. Despite its seven cylinders, the air-cooled engine had a displacement of only 216 cm³ with a square bore / stroke ratio of 34 mm. Equipped without a clutch or gearbox, the vehicle weighed 40 kg. The only copy made is now in the Lucerne Museum of Transport , a gift from Henri Dufaux .
