The idea of german military bikes originates with Fieldmarschall Guderian who saw Belgian bikes (FN) in action in WW1- The original one was the Zündapp with a Steib side car including side car drive and reverse gear and a trailer hitch. These machines were even used to pull small artillery pieces. Later BMW got involved due to the heavy demand. The courier bikes used were mostly DKW 350 single cylinder 2 strokes with the Triumph-Nürnberg 250 cc machine running a close second. The heavy bike-side car combinations were however MORE expensive to built than a VW Kübelwagen and consequently lost favor with the Wehrmacht toward the end of the war. The motorcycle troops were specially trained elite units which spearheaded attacks and suffered incredible losses as a consequence.

At my first job I worked with an Austrian who at 16/17yo in 1945 was part of the last manpower called up to serve in the German army. As he was experienced at riding a motorcycle they made him a courier and he was issued an army motorcycle. Within 6 weeks the German Government and army collapsed. He had a motor cycle with enough petrol to get home which was fairly close. His village was in the soviet zone so he dismantled the bike,wrapped it in oily rags, loaded it into wooden crates and buried them inside a barn to keep it dry. After the allied occupation ended he dug it up, painted it red to disguise it's military origin, reassembled it and had a nice motorcycle. He sold it when he emigrated to Australia.

Used to see lots of surplus WLAs in Australia in the 1960s. They sold for as little as $40 AU, with better examples around $100. They weren't seen as very desirable in those days, but you'd probably get several thousand for a good example now. If you wanted class back then, you rode a British bike - Vincent, Norton, Triumph or BSA in that order. Even Japanese bikes were considered to have more class than a Harley! How times have changed. Personally, I always wanted a BMW R69S. Rumour has it that the US Army used WLAs to pull bogged Sherman tanks out of the mud (LOL).

There are a few civilian bikes featured. The military bikes aren't as prevalent as they once were. The Harley WL bobber shown might have just as easily been a civilian model as it could've been a stripped down WLA.

@MyFabian94 6 жыл бұрын

Well, Militar Bike back then had a lot of issues with mobility. The Pinnacle of Military Bikes should have been the later 80s and early 90s with their Enduros, which would have been perfect Transport in less developed Areas, where Cars and Tanks are too slow and Big.

@jjeckerm06 6 жыл бұрын

The Norton 16H was also built as a sidecar outfit with a driven wheel. Triumph also made bikes for the war effort. The story I heard about the WLA was that the original Army order requested an engine size of 30" (500cc). Indian provided a beautiful bike (based on the civilian Chief) with a 30" engine that was woefully underpowered, while Harley handed them the more powerful 45" that they were already manufacturing, thereby putting another nail in their primary competitor's coffin.

The Welbike was one of a number of items produced for Special Operations Executive (later to become MI6), at the their factory in Welwyn Garden City just outside north London, during WWII. Almost all their products had the "Wel-" prefix, as in the Welrod, which was a very simple, primitive hand gun.

The harley davidson xa was not shown, to see one go to Barbers motorcycle musuem in Birmingham ,Alabama, and be prepared to stay all day if you love old motorcycles. They only made 1,000 of them for the north African campaign, but it was over before they were ready. I had a neighbor who was a retired New Jearsy state trooper, but in ww2 was a motorcycle courier in europe. He told me about testing the xa when training in Texas. Probably one of the few people alive in 1999 who ever rode one for the Army. He heard my harley and wanted to sit on it and rev the engine, at the time he was 85 and only had another 2 years to live. He said it brought back a lot of memories. His name was Nick.

Hey man!!! I was looking forward for a long time for such a vid!!!! Nicely donw!!! You should include also Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and the BSA M20, which were also legendary motorcycles. We had also here in Greece such motorcycles, even at the post-ww2 period. During the 7-yeared Dictatorship here, my father was in his 36-month army service (here in Greece every man from the age of 19 and over, is obliged to do his military service, nowadays is a 9-month period and less) and parachuters had also some of these motorcycles. Because of being officer, my dad had aHarley-Davidson WLA, which required hardened skills to be driven. It has the clutch on the left foot, the gears are manually operated via lever on the trunk and the gas was operated through both throttles on the steering bar. The right for the gas, the left for setting the ignition advance. I had the opportunity to buy one, but unfortunately I lost it for a matter of an hour...

You did your research, well almost ! The harley WLA and the XA look nothing alike and you showed them as being the same bike. The XA was an experimental bike that had imposing cylinders witch made it look like the Ural that you showed right before. The only thing that the WLA, had in common with the XA, is they were both Harleys. The XA was not introduced until the end of the war. There were 400 of them being sent to Africa, because they were shaft driven not chain driven. The sand in Africa would wear them out too quick, Harley needed something that would compete with the BMW. The ship that was carrying the 400 experimental bikes was sunk by a U-boat. There are only a handful of XAs that exist to this day.

My Dad had a Harley from that time period that was built with a side car. Not sure if it had the side car when he got it or not. He said it started with a 74 cubic inch engine but something went wrong with that one. He said he used Dodge car pistons to fix the engine apparently he either couldn't find or afford Harley pistons. Apparently the Dodge pistons were a lot lighter though which helped it rev a bit more and respond better. Unfortunately he got hit while driving it. Some old lady ran into him and broke his leg. He apparently thought that driving it was too dangerous because he took it apart and as far as I know it is still sitting out behind the house he lived at the time. Probably returned to the earth by now.
