The outstanding HRD Industries company made a great contribution to the history of motorsports. The firm was created by the British racer Howard Raymond Davis in 1924, which initials are clearly seen at the company`s name. Initially, HRD Industries focused on the production of dynamic motorcycles. In 1928, the company announced its liquidation, so the brand was acquired by Philip Vincent, who formed the new Vincent HRD Company. From 1928 to 1948, motorcycles were released under the dual Vincent-HRD emblem, depicted on a gas tank. That time is considered to be one of the most successful and momentous in the brand`s history. Nowadays, the production of HRD Industries is represented by hard enduro and supermoto motorcycles. They are characterized by a common basis and different diameters of wheels, brake systems, and engines.
