That was my first pick too but look at the pipe. It's on the ground. Gotta be a late model Gixxer.

The other bikes that had that fish tail exhaust of that era were the Velocette and the Gilera.

I'll try Velo Mac 350 - for no 3 - but that slant motor has me beat.

I still think a hunter model arial is the best fit - but as you say no....thinking thinking.....

mmm? a colombus 500 ohv single ? or a colombus 800 twin
useless trivia Horex were the 1st german company to be allowed to build motorcycles over 250cc

Recheck the 1st pic too :yes: it's a Zundapp 750 military spec going on the exhaust pipe lying in front of it & the petrol tank sits inside the pressed steel frame. The BMW R75 fuel tank sat over the frame.

2nd pic is ??? its got a BMW front end circa 1931 (identical to a R2) but the V-twin & chain drive screws that up.

TWR, according to the information I have (which I suppose could be incorrect)
#1 is a BMW R75m, 1937
#2 is a Arnaminati A750 1933 (also known as Nati)
#3 is a Horex 350 believed to be 1935

1) R75m didn't get produced until 1941 & used a tubular frame, prior to that the largest beemer was a R62 733cc single
2) :scratch:

3) Thats a Horex badge on the tank :yes: & 1935 their design models were regina & came in 3 different capacities

38 beemer is a R51 & had a tubular frame & plunger rear suspension :nya:

here's pics of a R75m & a Zundapp which one compares to pic #1 :whistle:

Motu

6th July 2006, 19:51

But the Zundapp is a 4 cyl.However,I still stick to Zundapp because of the perimeter frame....and FN had them too.Time to look in my books.

yeah that one in the pic is, it's the 797cc flat four of 1936. The flat twin was a KS750 (746cc)
