The first picture shows a Zündapp "Norma Luxus" 0,2 litres, it didn't go faster than 100 kilometers. It was made in 1953. The photo comes from the 70's.
The second is a "Triumph Bonneville" from the mid- eighties

Those Zudapps were really cool to kids in the '50s. You could ride one at 14. Sears sold them.

Where is James Bond when you need him. At 90 MPH the fairing vibrated so bad you had to shut down before it went into self destruct. 3Cyl 750cc, 3 into 1 Kerker header, triple carbs,strong smooth engine but they had a weak 2nd gear so you had to be really careful with a speed shift. I bought it in a junkyard for $150 and then refurbed it.

This has been our ride for the last 8 years, a great bike to travel on. I have some more pictures of bikes that I have rebuilt but this enough for now. All I do to this bike is change the oil and put gas in it, 107,000 plus miles and going strong.
