KRS  |  1921-26  |  Germany  :

KRS was a German assembler of the early 1920s that, like many small firms of the period, built its machines around bought-in proprietary engines rather than designs of its own. Manufactured from 1921 to 1926, KRS built motorcycles with 148 and 198cc overhead-valve Paque engines, together with 293cc Bosch-Douglas horizontally-opposed twins supplied by SMW. Beyond that engine list and its six-year span, the marque left little documented record, which is typical of the many short-lived German makers that appeared during the post-war motorcycle boom and disappeared again within a few years.
