The Condor motorcycle brand, produced in Switzerland from 1901 to 1978, was known for its precision engineering and robust motorcycles, particularly those built for military use. Founded by Eduard and Jules Scheffer in Courfaivre as a bicycle maker before expanding into motorcycles, Condor built a wide range of machines powered by engines from suppliers such as Zédel, Motosacoche, MAG, and later Ducati. Condor motorcycles were characterized by durability, utilitarian engineering, and their long association with Switzerland’s armed forces, securing the marque a distinct place in 20th-century European motorcycling history.
