The Taifun, Typhoon in English, was an incredibly advanced design in both styling and technical innovation.  It had a sleek design with large sheet metal panels. It was available with a 348cc 19HP two cylinder [[two-stroke]] from 1953-1956 and with a 395cc 22.5HP engine.  It featured a totally enclosed rear [[chain drive|drive chain]] running in oil.  The flip out rear passenger pegs are almost standard on every motorcycle today.  It was a [[motorcycle]] built with the elegance of an expensive automobile.
