Some more Soviet motorcycle curiosities...

just some weird stuff to look at. can you name these machines? see something different?

Mozharov's Izh-1 1928 a 1200cc V-twin - the exhausts ran thru the frame
the bodywork had a strange brass/bronzey colour

the Izh-2 had ventilator cooling

Izh-3

Izh-4, this was the model chosen for mass production

Izh-5

Izh-7 (sorry no pic of Izh-6, maybe one day, is a State Secret)

PMZ [Nati] A-750, Mozharov's final  jewell, it served the Red Army and Postal Service for many years

M-72 direct version of BMW R71

M-52 500cc note unusual rocker covers

note that front rear mudguard!

M-73 (first version) was 1000cc sidecar wheel drive, BMW R75 frame, which came first!?

Racing was always popular, fancy a blower!

once again a spinoff, tank compartment sacrifised for the air cleaner, ah la Africa Corps BMW, again who was first?

anyway, I hope you enjoyed these curiosities, more to come! much more.
