A Brief History of the Italian Marque
Kram-It was established towards the end of the 1970s by Fritz Kramer of Germany, and was initially named Kramer Italia.
Their production models were almost all fuoristradistici (offroad, enduro). In the 1980s the company moved to Gazzaniga in the province of Bergamo and continued to produce machines using engines from Minarelli and Rotax of 50 to 300cc.
Kram-It created the brand HRD. HRD Motor, no association with famous English marque, was established in 1980 and the abbreviation means Happy Red Devils. These were fast and elegant 125cc road machine models named White, Red and Silver Horse. .
In the second half of the eighties the company moved from Busto Arsizio in Varese to San Vittore Olona on the other side of Legnano, but financial difficulties cause the end of the motorcycling adventure and the brand was acquired by Kram-It.
These brands are recognized by the Engineering Group of Exy Related Categories in Alessandria province that produced motocross and enduro.
The subsequent history of Kram-It is linked to that of the HRD.
