History

Thunderbike was founded in 1985, as a Suzuki dealer named Motorradschuppen (eng.: motorcycle shed) in the small town of Hamminkeln in western Germany.[1] Between 1987 and 2001 the Thunderbike Team was successful at the German racing series Deutsche Langstreckenmeisterschaft and produced many customized sports bikes.

In 2003, Thunderbike began to customize Harley-Davidson motorcycles and started to create self-produced frames, custom-wheels and other parts. They reached the 2nd place at the AMD World Championship in 2006 and became one of the most successful European customizers.
