HRD Motors Ltd was a British motorcycle manufacturer in the 1920s. It was founded by Howard Raymond Davies. He had worked in motorcycling, and had raced with some success in the mid-twenties, but often not finishing due to unreliability. This inspired him to build a reliable performance motorcycle, using the advertising slogan "Built by a rider". Others also aimed at a similar market, like George Brough of Brough Superior motorcycles.

has abstract	HRD Motors Ltd fou un fabricant de motocicletes britànic actiu durant la dècada del 1920. L'empresa fou fundada per Howard Raymond Davies, qui havia treballat abans dins el sector del motociclisme i havia competit amb cert èxit a mitjan anys vint, tot i que sovint no acabava les curses per manca de fiabilitat de la motocicleta. Aquest fet li feu decidir de construir una motocicleta fiable d'alt rendiment. Davies va fer servir l'eslògan publicitari "Construïda per un pilot" ("Built by a rider"). Altres fabricants de l'època també s'adreçaven a un mercat similar, com ara George Brough, l'amo de Brough Superior. Després de la Primera Guerra Mundial, molts fabricants de motocicletes muntaven les seves motos a partir de motors i altres components importants procedents de fabricants diversos. L'objectiu de Davies era construir una motocicleta superior a partir dels millors components disponibles. Les motocicletes HRD es van produir des del 1924 fins al 1928. Aleshores, l'empresa, mancada de capital tot i la seva fama d'oferir productes d'altes prestacions, va lluitar per sobreviure i finalment va ser venuda a OK-Supreme, la qual va vendre al seu torn la marca a Phil Vincent, un dissenyador de motocicletes. El nom HRD es va incorporar llavors a una nova empresa, The Vincent HRD Company Ltd. (ca) Die HRD Motors Ltd war ein britischer Motorradhersteller, der von 1924 bis 1928 in Birmingham ansässig war.

Others also aimed at a similar market, like George Brough of Brough Superior motorcycles. After the First World War many motorcycle makers assembled their machines from engines and other major components sourced from different manufacturers. Davies' goal was to build a superior motorcycle from the best components available. Motorcycles were produced from 1924 to 1928, but the undercapitalised company, although having a reputation for performance, struggled to survive, and was ultimately sold to OK-Supreme, who then sold the name and goodwill to Phil Vincent, a motorcycle designer. The name was then incorporated into a new company, The Vincent HRD Company Ltd. (en) HRD is een Brits historisch merk van motorfietsen. De bedrijfsnaam was "HRD Motors Ltd., Wolverhampton". (nl)
