1947 M-73 (ohv)

, USSR. In order to determine an advantage of the sidecar wheel drive, the off-road capability of M-73 has been compared to M-72 (there were two test runs: with sidecar wheel drive on and off) and BMW R-75. BMW R-75 showed the best results excluding the boggy test on which M-73 was a winner (sidecar wheel drive was on). The advantage of M-73 was as follows: if two people would jump off the bike, it could proceed further without a stop while BMW R-75 immediately made a belly landing. #750cc #ww2 #worldwar2 #uralbike #russianmotorcycle #1940s #history #military #army #sovietarmy #ural #uralmotorcycle #instabike #instamoto #antique #vintagemotorcycle #classic #retrobike #vintagebikeride #rarebikes #retromotorcycle #restoration #swd #experimentalmachine #rare #oldschool #ohv #bikestagram #awesome #goodstuff
