    Die wichtigste und meistgebaute deutsche Militärmaschine WK2 fehlt in der Aufzählung: Die BMW R12. Davon wurden immerhin ca. 36.000 Stück gebaut. Die hatte einen seitengesteuerten 750ccm Boxermotor mit 18 Ps in der Einvergaserausführung und wurde vorwiegend mit Seitenwagen gefahren. (Ich besitze übrigens so ein Teil.) V.S.

    A Vespa mounted with a cannon! Love that. Little bike with a big bang.

    You forgot the WW2 German BMW R12. Of these, around 36,000 were built. It had a side-valve 750cc boxer engine with 18 hp - a shame that you did not mention it but you present such things like the Vespa Tank killer lol - this BMW icon should definitely have a spot in the top 10!

    Befor the war Indian was the top bike in America but During ww2,Indian went all in for military production unlike Harley which only went halfway to military. Whichre sulted in the rise of Harley Davidson although Harley's are still unreliable.spending more time with mechanics than on the road. My opinion is Indian of www and befor the war are the icons of American motorcycles
