    BMW have been making 180 degree transverse Vee twins for many years.

    Theres quite a few obscure brands when you sift through it all, Victoria and panthers Panthette designed I think by Grandville Bradshaw among others. also of course thew Honda ST1100/1300

    Here's another one, Victoria Bergmeister 350cc from Germany. A tidy looking bike for that era, 1955
