Puch, which began production in 1930s, is Austria's oldest [[motorcycle|bike]] manufacturer. In 1923 the company introduced a 220cc two-stroke with a split-single engine layout that continued to be built into the 1960s. Later models have included [[trials]] and [[motorcross]] machines, often with 500cc Rotax engines. Recent production has focused solely on [[mopeds]]. | Puch, which began production in 1930s, is Austria's oldest [[motorcycle|bike]] manufacturer.
