'''Sachs Motorcycles''' is a [[motorcycle]] manufacturer, founded in 1886 in Schweinfurt, Germany. It is the world's oldest motorcycle manufacturer.
==History==
In 1904, Sachs manufactured their first motorcycle. In the 1960s, Sachs took over [[Victoria]], [[Express]] and [[DKW]], and began to supply motorcycles for the German Federal Armed Forces in 1992. In recent years, Sachs had been reduced to local assembly of making small, cheap, Chinese-sourced scooters, which weren’t doing well. The unique, distinctive [[Sachs MadAss]] was the last ‘real’ Sachs-engineered motorcycle made.


After facing a series of financial problems, stemming from pensions issues relating to the Hercules bicycle works, the company went into insolvency proceedings and ultimately saw a management buyout.

The insolvency administrator not only enabled continued trading, but also put the company in a position to develop new models, such as the new [[Sachs XTC125]], unveiled at the 'Intermot' fair in Cologne in October 2006. Business operations continue from the same location as before.
