Diese Pierce Four ist die sch\u00f6nste Pierce Four der Welt!
\nKeine andere von den wenig gebauten die es \u00fcberlebt haben ist in diesem hervorragenden 100 % Originalzustand. F\u00fcr diesen Zustand erhielt sie mehrere erste Preise vom AMCA (Antique Motorcycle Club of America) in der Kategorie: Best unrestored Antique. Auch am Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este (Italien) 2011 erzielte sie den Klassensieg und Best of Show!<\/p>\n

GESCHICHTE<\/strong>
\nNicht nur in Europa wurde in den Jahren 1904\/05 die 4-Zylinder FN (Fabrique National) aus Liege, Belgien als Sensation gewertet, in den USA machten sich
\nin den Folgejahren mehrere Hersteller an \u00e4hnliche Projekte. Auch Percy Pierce, der einzige Sohn von George Pierce, Besitzer der Pierce-Arrow \u201eMotor Car Company\u201c aus Buffalo N.Y. USA war angetan von der Idee ein 4-Zylinder Motorrad zu bauen um \u00abvibrationslos\u00bb Reisen zu k\u00f6nnen, wie es in der Werbung hiess.
\nSo gr\u00fcndete er 1907 die Pierce Cycle Co. auch in Buffalo New York und baute das avantgardistische erste amerikanische 4-Zylinder Motorrad das er 1909 auf den Markt brachte. Ihm zur Seite stand ein geniales Genie namens D.C. Shamp ein begnadeter Konstrukteur. Das Produkt, diese Pierce Four, war ein perfektes aber auch sehr teures Fahrzeug. Dreimal so teuer wie eine Harley zur selben Zeit. Der Einrohr-Rahmen war ganz etwas Neues und diente auch als \u00d6l- und Benzintank.
\nDer Motor war l\u00e4ngs eingebaut und zum Hinterrad f\u00fchrte eine Kardanwelle mit eingebauten Getriebe und einer Mehrscheiben-Kupplung. Die Motoren wurden alle eine Stunde auf dem Pr\u00fcfstand getestet. Bevor die fertigen Motorr\u00e4der ausgeliefert wurden fuhren Werks-Tester mit ihnen 100 Meilen weit. 1913 verliess die letzte Pierce Four das Werk, sie waren einfach zu teuer. Eine g\u00fcnstigere Massen-Produktion war f\u00fcr Pierce keine Alternative. Das Pierce- Arrow Automobilwerk aber produzierte weiter Luxusautos bis Ende der 30er Jahre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
