That actually looks really fun. Looks like one is a trike which would be bettr for slower speeds.

THIS is the only motorcycle i ever seriously considered buying. I was 18 and one turned up in a local car dealer's used car lot.

Note the stick shift and drive shaft.
But even at only 18, I knew with 100% certainty that it would kill me because I tended to have a need for speed when it came to anything motorized.

Showing your age now RC :P

I got my drivers license in 1966, pretty much right in the middle of the golden age of muscle cars here in the US. For some reason, perhaps because of the size & power of cars of that time (GTOs, Plymouth 440 hemi, Dodge Charger), I've never really had much interest in motorcycles. The Honda cycle dealership was right across the alley from our business back then, so I saw hundreds of them get uncrated and sold when the craze hit in the 60s but even that didn't pull me in. They seem toy-ish to me, even the big Harleys.

That Zundapp is a great looking machine. I like the early BMWs too, I think they have a lot of style. There was a prototype called the R7 that's probably the most striking bike never produced.

Yeah, BMW had some fine looking bikes. Back in the late 50s and early 60s there were a fair number of Indians around, they were sharp looking, too. Probably my favorite design overall.

Also Triumphs, but they were kinda clunky by comparison to the Indians,
Harleys... they were for traffic cops.

Love the retro BMW, very Batman. As for "LM's", well that's just plain silly.
