• It had to cruise at 80kmh (not quite 50mph) and be able to reach 95kmh (not quite 60mph) but also be able to crawl along at 3mph so as not to run over marching troops.
• The tires had to be 5.00in x 16in.
• Minimum ground clearance had to be 150mm (6in) and there had to be enough room under the fenders for snow chains.

Thanks, Fidel!
Nice machine - not Dieselpunk, but very much in the early 70's style. Loved it.
Yes, you're right.
But it reminded me of some kind of Futurism stuff; like some paitings about motorcycle races.
Well, it is Futurist, for sure.
The side car was built by BMW.
To Warren:
of course.
