Voskhod motorcycle

Voskhod (Восхо́д) is the name of several types of motorcycles produced at the Degtyarev plant in the Russian town of Kovrov since 1965.

All Voskhod motorcycles had a displacement of 175 cm³.

Between 1973 and 1979 Voskhod was one of the makes marketed by SATRA in the United Kingdom as Cossack motorcycles.

The Voskhod was introduced in 1957. For many this was a luxury model of the Minsk (125cc) K-55. 'Voskhod' can be translated to 'Sunrise' in Russian. In 1964 the Voskhod was even made in a racing version. This is also the motorcycle that Dmitri Dvorkijn (Dimka) rides in the book written by Ken Follett "The Edge of Eternity - The Century Trilogy 3". He rides it when he is saving his sister Tanja in 1961. This is early on in the book. The Voskhod is presented here as a motorcycle for the privileged.
