About this model
About the Hercules K 180
The Hercules K 180 is the military K 180 BW, developed within the Bundeswehr family of lightweight dispatch motorcycles. It uses an air-cooled Sachs 1801/5B single-cylinder two-stroke with five speeds. Its military configuration, 15-litre tank, long-travel chassis and specific electrical system make it very different from an ordinary civilian 180. Always verify BW markings, frame number, type plate and registration.
Completeness is crucial for a buyer. A K 180 BW may have spent long periods in service or storage; assess engine, cooling, wiring, luggage/military fittings and any demilitarisation. Test hot starting, five-speed gearbox and brakes. Prefer a documented example with correct military parts to a civilian conversion of unclear provenance.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Verify the type plate, frame number and K 180 BW/Military markings; military identity determines parts and value.
- Check the Sachs 1801/5B two-stroke for compression, crank seals, carburettor, air filter and cold/hot starting.
- Test five-speed gearbox, clutch, chain and sprockets under load for jumping gears, slip and incorrect gearing.
- Check electronic ignition, charging, loom, switches and military connectors for corrosion or amateur demilitarisation.
- Inspect frame, fork, rear suspension, wheels, brakes, tank and mounting points for corrosion, cracks and hard service use.
