Guess that bike!

**awesker** · 17th January 2007, 22:45

Thats right boys and girls, its that time again! Time for guess that bike!

I was looking through some picture archives and came across this old girl, just got curious to what it might be as Ive taken quite a shining to the old bikes, thanks to my friends 350 MAC. Im sure someone here might be able to shed some light on it.

Green rep to anyone who gets it Id say

as it looks pretty ancient, what strikes me as being quite unique is that extra seat on the back, but that might have been added later cause they are different colours. Would it be an old indian, cause of the emblem on the front mud guard? (hell I dont even know if thats the indian emblem!) Ill just shut up, Good luck!

(sorry about the size too 56kers, get some decent net though ffs!)

Thats just like the bike dad built for us as kids

Well What

Definitely an Indian, spot the emblem on the gearbox cover.

More than that I couldn't tell you. You just wait until Motu has a peek in here!

They were brave men back then. Look at the size of that front brake, and as for the tyres!

Dunno what it is but it looks like it would be scarier to ride than my old Z1.

Looks like a NSU circa 1920s, just going by the front guard ornament. possibly a 124cc TS 'Fox'

**awesker** · 18th January 2007, 22:15

NSU? Ive never heard of it.

Do you know much about them?

They were also right into their Wankels -- I think Mazda borrowed some of their research? Or something like that.

They also made the Kettenkrad
