Tempo Standard 150

Tempo1955

Tempo Standard was the motorcycle that, more than any other motorcycle, propelled the nation in the years after World War II. The first model, the Standard 20, was launched in 1951, and had the very solid and reliable 147cc Sachs engine. The Standard was Tempo's first battery-powered motorcycle.

80 km/h

With 6.5 hp it easily managed a top speed of around 80 km/h. On winding gravel roads this was more than sufficient, and the Standard became a very popular motorcycle. Despite the rigid rear frame, the two cushioned flounder seats provided good riding comfort on a road network that was not characterised by asphalt, but more by potholed gravel roads.

125, 150 and 175 cubic meters

Over time, several variants of the Standard were introduced. The Standard 10 had a 125 cc engine, and the Standard 30 had the largest engine of 175 cc. Tempo Standard was produced from 1951-1959.
