1992 Osca 644

1993 Horex OSCA HCE1057 w/ 2860 mi / 4771 km. Rare and interesting motorcycle and cautionary tale from the Japan bubble economy. Designed and engineered by CK Design, a small Tokyo-area engineering studio founded by former Honda engineer Kazuo Sasaki (佐々木和夫). While the idea of a Horex premium single sportbike originated in Germany, the motorcycle was engineered and built in Japan. The chromoly trellis chassis housed a 644cc RFVC single cylinder from the Honda NX650 Dominator. Suspension was high-specification Showa front forms with Nissin brakes. The ultimate thumper sportbike of its day and priced accordingly at nearly ¥3.5million – at that time over $30k USD. Challenges with German and Japanese economies at that time and the high price kept the volume down. Estimated total production of around 50 units. Price shown FOB Chiba, Japan. Worldwide shipping available. Easy shipment to Seattle, USA in shared container for $1500 + import. Price subject to change.

When I look at the landscape of the hills, I can’t help but think of “McQueen’s Great Escape.” That being said, I don’t think there is any connection to Germany. It’s a foreign country. Even so, the Cologne show had enough content to make me, a newly independent artist, want to come as often as possible. In 1984, I scraped together some travel money and stayed in a cheap hotel for my third Cologne show. While walking around the various areas, including doing some research to raise the travel money, I came across HOREX. As I focused the camera on an impressive horizontal angle for the interview, a distant memory came back to me. The first BIG TWIN I rode in high school (probably HOREX Regina)That’s HOREX, he’s still alive!That was how it was. That day, in 1987, I received a letter from Mr. ROTH, who I had had a brief conversation with at the booth, asking if I would like to create HOREX together. However, given the difficulties in management, it is clear that it will be very difficult. Although this is the reason for his desire to become independent from the research institute, he also came to the conclusion at the time of the company’s establishment that this was impossible. Is it still too early? Deep down I have a strong desire to do it, so I was worried. It took some time, but one logic led me to the decision. That logic remains the same today: if you don’t do it, you can’t die. Even if we don’t do it now, if we have the funds or the opportunity, we will definitely do it. And at that moment, you’ll probably think, “Damn, I should have done this sooner,” or “I want to ride it too.” I really want to do it. I guess it’s human nature to make decisions about dreams and work…And so horex644osca was born. But recently, I’ve started to waver again about this fate. Can I make another bike? How can I make it? I keep searching.OUTLINE… What is HOREX 644 OSCACONCEPT DESIGN; The Most Satisfatable Motorcycle to Who Loves Motorcycle Deeply.
