I thought that would have given it away straight off that is why I said it was an easy one :y2:

shanered6 your go then

DKW RT 350 with Binder sidecar, 1956



The RT 350 was the top DKW motorcycle model developed in Ingolstadt. It had a powerful, smooth two-stroke twin engine and could reach a top speed of 115 km/h. The hydraulic rear brake was another new feature. The sidecar was built by the Binder company in Reichertshofen, near Ingolstadt. Styled to resemble the DKW 3=6 passenger car, the hinge-up cover made entering and leaving the sidecar much easier.

Engine: 2-cylinder in-line, 2-stroke
Displacement: 348 cc
Power: 18.5 hp at 4,500 rpm
Maximum speed: 75 mph
Fuel consumption: 63 mpg
Price: DM 2,250

Zundapp KS 750?

Correct your go

Zündapp KS 750 Wehrmachtsgespann 1940-48.
The heavy German military bike

Production : 18.695 pieces
Displacement : 745 ccm
Cylinder : 2
PS / KW : 26 / 19
Stroke : 85 mm
Top speed : 95 Km/h
Min speed : 3 Km/h
Fuel consumption: 6,5 liters/100 km
Gradient on mountains 45 %
Fordability : 425 mm
Gear: 4 road- 1 off road- 1 back

Weight: Unladen 420 Kg Gross 840 Kg



The Zündapp KS 750 and BMW R 75 are specially constructed for the German Wehrmacht. About 70% of the parts on both Wehrmachtsgespanne are equally. In this way the spare part support is simplified. Characteristic features for these military sidecar combination are: rear wheel and sidecar wheel are driven. The gear: 4 road- 1 off road- 1 back differential is lockable. Transmission has got four gears, plus one terrain gear and reverse gear. Brakes on rear- and sidecar wheel work hydraulically (the first motorbike equipped with that feature ). A completely restored and perfectly running Wehrmachtsgespann will give you a lot of fun on- and off-road!
 
I think it's fantastic that they know exactly how many were made (Production : 18.695 pieces) considering the conditions at the time, good old German bean counting.
