Before I bought my Vette (http://www.motorgen.com/garage/showvehicle.php?vid=58), I was seriously considering a BMW R75. No, not the 70s model; the Nazi war-bike, think Indiana Jones:

I actually have reprints of the original manuals. The technical drawings are stunning.

Leave it to German engineers to figure 2 drive wheels and a reverse gear could be kinda helpfull in combat. Too cool:D

I could soooo see Vettezuki riding one of those with one of those German helmets from WWI with a spike coming out of the top.

You're mixing the war eras, but if I wore a typical WWII German helmet (like a lot of bikers do) that could cause some serious misunderstandings. I'm soooo not a Nazi, but the bike is rad. I think I have some video of it around here somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

If BMW made a modern version of it, I'd seriously entertain buying one.
