During WWII BMW copied the Zündapp KS 750. The R-71 was highly manoeuvrable and a capable all terrain vehicle. It even had a reverse gear. The R7-1, R-75 and its competitor; the Zündapp KS 750 were both used by the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and SS. I've recently added a Luftwaffe R-71 clone (CJ-750) to my collection. Look for more information and photos to follow...
