The Excelsior Super X was a motorcycle manufactured by the Excelsior Motor Manufacturing & Supply Company from 1925 to 1931.〔Wilson, H. ''The Encyclopedia of the Motorcycle'' p. 59 Dorling-Kindersley Limited, 1995 ISBN 0-7513-0206-6〕 It was the most famous Excelsior motorcycle manufactured by that company and was the first American forty-five cubic inch motorcycle.〔Wilson, H. ''The Ultimate Motorcycle Book'' p. 41 Dorling-Kindersley Limited, 1993 ISBN 0-7513-0043-8〕 ==Origin== Arthur "Connie" Constantine, Assistant Chief Engineer at the Harley-Davidson Motor Company, drew up plans for a mid-sized V-Twin to compete against the Indian Scout. When he presented the unauthorized project to co-founder Walter Davidson, he was reprimanded for wasting the company's time.〔(''Pioneers of American Motorcycle Racing'' by Daniel K. Statnekov, Chapter 22 )〕 Constantine resigned his position at Harley-Davidson and offered his services and his project to Excelsior. Both were accepted, leading to the introduction of the Excelsior Super X in 1925. The design proved to be competitive in motorsports in its first year despite competing against motorcycles with engines of greater capacity.〔 The Super X effectively replaced Excelsior's other mainstream model, a sixty-one cubic inch V-Twin, which was discontinued during the first year of Super X production.〔 The smaller motorcycle was believed to be a more suitable companion product for their Henderson four-cylinder motorcycle.〔(Antique Motorcycle Museum 1929 Super X Roadster )〕
