Sachs Motorcycles is a German based motorcycle manufacturer, founded in 1886 in Schweinfurt. It is one of the world's oldest motorcycle manufacturers. (Triumph produced bikes in 1902 and Harley-Davidson in 1903)

Sachs manufactured their first motorcycle in 1904. Sachs took over Victoria, Express and DKW in the 1960s, and began to supply motorcycles for the German Federal Armed Forces in 1992.

In recent times, Sachs had been reduced to local assembly of small, cheap, Chinese-sourced scooters, which weren't doing well. The distinctive Sachs MadAss was the last Sachs-engineered motorcycle made.

After facing a series of financial problems, stemming from pensions issues relating to the Hercules bicycle works, the company went into insolvency proceedings and ultimately saw a successful management buyout led by the managing director Corrado Savazzi. The insolvency administrator Mr. Wolker Boehm was not only able to continue trading, but also put the company in a position to develop new models, such as the new XTC125, unveiled at the Intermot fair in Cologne, Germany in October 2006. Business operations continue from the same location as before.
