Thor
©Publications International, Ltd.
Name a bike after the Norse god of thunder, and it better live up to its name -- and the Thor did. First produced in 1907, Thors were big 76-cubic-inch (about 1250-cc) V-twin brutes that rivaled contemporary Harley-Davidsons for speed. But due to the competitive environment, Thor ceased motorcycle production by 1920.
