Thank you for keeping the history alive!

Meu falecido pai teve uma BSA e depois uma Jawa. Uma manutenção mal feita na BSA, fez o motor ter excesso de aquecimento e incendiou o motor. A moto Jawa me lembro de andar de carona quando criança. O problema da Jawa era parte elétrica. Abraços e obrigado pelos belos vídeos. História que vale se manter viva. Parabéns. - Veranópolis, Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil.

*Merci infiniment 'JAWA TINO' **9:27** the shot is photogenique! And, sound, too*

Love the big FN at the end. It's an illustration of the dead-end ideas that were pursued before the original Jeep showed the way to do things. Of all of these, though, the Indian 841 is my favourite.

bellissimi esemplari di moto militari "Jawa-Tino" ma anche l' Italia ne aveva si chiamava "Alce" e il "tri alce" dopo la guerra costruirono il "super Alce" e non dimentichiamo il motocarro "Ercole 500" grazie comunque AMICO "JAWA" sei sempre unico ! Un abbraccio.

As Motocicletas Nostálgicas tinham mais Pegada,o Estilo possui um Desenho Clássico,pronto falei . Sucesso Equipe JAWA TINO,Excelente Postagem .

Terrific collection! Wow, a Rikuo -- don't see those every day, and rarely in such nice condition!

Real eye opener , thanks .

Brilliant video, thanks for loading!

The FN, the last bike figured would have been a rough old ride for the rear passengers.. Sort of reminds me of a 3 wheeled Jeep.. Great that it has a reverse gear. Wish more bikes had reverse gear.

I was hoping to see , guzzi, Gilera, EM 750, Mosvic and Ural... great machines not far for the rest off this manufactures . Beautiful collection.

I don't remember what year the sdcooter was but it was from the late 50s. The motor was bad on the Cushman Eagle he had bought for my uncle who was 6 mos younger than me. He took off the Cushman motor and put a 16HP Tecumseh 4 stroke engine on it and it would really run. It would keep up with the big Harleys on the highway. It was a two speed and he changed some of the pulleys and put on twin belts. The motorscooter would smoke the rear tire as long as you wanted to hold the front brake and when you finally shifted into 2nd gear the rear tire would actually start squalling and peeling out again until you either got up to speed or backed off of the throttle. It was an awesome running scooter.

That FN M12 I'd never seen before, but I can think of plenty of trails to take it on.

My dream motorcycle:The BSA M20! What a gorgeous sound. Not the most Horsepower ;-) But 500 cm doin' a healthy 13HP. I wont be driving this beauty much. I'd be looking for red lights, so that I can listen to it ;-)

That motorist passing the Indian twin at 2:37 was too close for comfort in my opinion!

Tino, That R75 very cool

Thanks for this comprehensive collection. I love the huff of the Gnome et Rhone. Can you share any information about the bike at 4:05?

Thanks for the info

Historicollections, savedfofuterenthuastistsandgenerations, Thankyou!

The US Indian at 3:42 has a RUSSIAN entrenching tool strapped to the leather Thompson submachine gun case!

Excelente video !

That's what I need,a motorcycle towing a freaking cannon !!!

My uncle Harold rode Harley in second world war because two way radios not work some areas so he was a dispatch rider to deliver news from close to front and rode back to people in control of the war

00:50 That Harley was based on BMW R71. Engine Boxer and cardan transmission. Americans have never been able to build good engines, only big size.

Why RoyAl Enfield is not in this list

I had one of those Cushman military scooters in the late 70s.only 4K ever made?i junked it.im now going out back to kick myself in the asss lol

R75 a melhor já construída

With some of those machines produced in massive numbers, relatively few ever survived? From watching the Russian videos, they really do make an effort to preserve the equipment left over following their endless war years. The Russians appear to take great pride in their abilities and creative genius, required to bring the equipment back to life :)

How can you say that the HD XA was one of the best motorcycles of WWII? Only 1000 were made and 500 of those never left the States. The other 500 were slated for the war in Africa but arrived too late to see any action at all. The same thing is true for the Indian 871. They were both oddballs of low production that did very little towards the war effort.

Bacan, saludos desde perú

Guessing this is an American vid? I forget they invented the world despite being the new kid on the block.

The Cushman I saw in the 40's had a cover over engine, not open exposing the engine

Couple of bikes I had not previously heard of, thanks. And thanks for including the Zundapp K800 engine footage, lovely engineering.

That 42 Indian was very nice. Especially compared to the competition. Jmo

Good content but please please please use a font and text color that can be read. Please. Now i need an Advil. Pleeeeeaase.

Interesting video. Some comments though Many very important WW2 bikes missing. I'm no expert but I thought of the BMW R50/2, the various Adlers. the Triumph 500 twin, the Royal Enfield and the Russian R79. All these were very strategic vehicles made in large quantities. Your HP/Din figures are almost universally wrong. On the British bikes it looks like you've user the MOT Registration and Tax figure (calculated from the piston diameter). I can't figure out where the errors on the other bikes came from.

BMW 750, Zündapp K 800 KIRÁLY!

The Belgian is an italian Moto Guzzi.

I miss: Kettenkratrad...

French bike. Ridden once; only in reverse! (LMAO) Where is the DKW NZ-250 that was used as a Nazi messenger bike?? My Uncle 'acquired' one in occupied Germany and shipped it stateside. Now I own it and I think it's the only one in the USA. (frame-off restored and running)

Wow the smallest engine one looks and sounds the fastest..

If they are all turbocharged as an option is something different

Wow

Says it as it is, you have to know your bike.

หาดูยากจังนะจ๊ะ รถเก่าๆๆ

Where´s the Matchless WD G3L?

เท่ดีจังนะจ๊ะ

Where can I buy a leather rifle scabbard for my M72?

No BMW R12?!

The Zündapp KS 750 was NOT a BOXER/flat twin...... It was a 179 degree v-engine....

No DKWs or NSUs?

Mükemmel

I love vintages😍

mantappppp

There is a story often repeated so there must be some truth to it that a “Cargo Cult” (look it up) came into possession of a “Quonset Hut” (look it up) full of these Harleys when the Americans left their island and are still riding these around to this day

Not an expert but it's hard to believe that BMW and Zundap were making motorcycles in 46 or 48 since the war ended in 45 unless the allies were making them?

Far out man,

ชอบรถคราสสิก

Jangan Tanya Harga Nye, Pasti Mahal lah..... 😀

How much for the gun?

Where are the USSR motorcycle?

Zundapp KS600?? used in all fronts and the fastest bike in the Wehrmacht. BMW R35? NZ350 and -1? RT125 amd PS3?? NSU 501, 601, 251??? you need to know your bikes better, you've missed some of the best and shown some of the crappiest.

Sokół 1000.

German steels are the best

Real bikers wear boots Common sense isn't that common anymore

侍

the best was zundapp 750 and NSU ..and BMW 750 they workd in africa ana in cold Rusia.. Harley was a shit

obviously the Italian motorcycles are not there, motorcycles of the caliber of the Guzzi, but there are the Belgian motorcycles hahahahaah or the French ones, the English motorcycles were disgusting, in fact in North Africa they stole the Italians' guzzi
