From the moment NSU began producing motorcycles, it was
chiefly concerned with racing vehicles.
Its first Grand Prix motorcycles appeared about 1910. They were fairly advanced
for the time, with a two-cylinder V engine (only 500-cc. but modeled after
American motorcycles) and a rigid chassis with front fork elastic suspension.
In 1930 NSU challenged Norton with a single-cylinder single-shaft model designed
by Walter Moore. This vehicle had its moment of glory when the British racer Tom
Bullus rode it to a 500-class victory at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Italy,
in 1930. In 1936 the NSU 350 single-shaft motorcycle registered the fastest lap
at Monza. The following year both the 350 and the 500 were equipped with
two-shaft distribution.

But the engine that was to lead to a series of top-notch
racing motorcycles was not built until 1939. It was a four-stroke, two-cylinder
engine with two-shaft overhead distribution and a volumetric vane supercharger.
A 350-cc. version was readied first and then a 500-cc. model.
The NSU two-cylinder with supercharger competed in the 1939 European
championship, but it did not achieve brilliant results, and there was nothing to
indicate that it would be the ancestor of a series of engines that would win
world championships and set records.
