The Excelsior Henderson, a name steeped in American motorcycle history, briefly resurrected in the late 1990s, signifies a bold attempt to reclaim its former glory. This particular model, born between 1999 and 2000, represents a meticulously engineered machine that aimed to reintroduce the brand with a blend of classic design and modern performance. The heart of the Excelsior Henderson was its 90-degree, air-cooled, 90-horsepower, 90-cubic-inch V-twin engine. This powerplant, paired with a five-speed transmission, propelled the bike to a top speed of over 140 mph, offering a thrilling ride experience. The motorcycle boasted a distinctive, classic aesthetic with a steel frame, girder-style front fork, and a generous rake angle, ensuring a comfortable ride and a timeless appeal. However, despite the ambitious vision and advanced engineering, Excelsior Henderson's revival proved short-lived. The company faced significant challenges, including production delays, high manufacturing costs, and an inability to meet ambitious sales targets. Ultimately, financial struggles led to the company's closure in 2000, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and unfulfilled potential. Nevertheless, the Excelsior Henderson motorcycles, particularly those produced between 1999 and 2000, remain coveted by enthusiasts for their unique blend of classic styling, modern engineering, and exhilarating performance. They represent a testament to the enduring spirit of American motorcycle manufacturing and a poignant reminder of a brand that, despite its brief resurgence, left a lasting impression on the motorcycle world.
