Neat photos. I particularly like the one horsepower model in the background of the second photo.

an additional picture....



The motorcycle is a 1930s BMW R12, 745cc 4sp transmission, about 19hp. The side car wheel was not powered. The R12 was eventually superseded in the German ranks by the BMW R75 series. The R75 was a purpose-built military motorcycle with fully-powered sidecar.

Regarding that horse, I grew up around those brutes and would never stand in that spot...

The Russkies took the factory back home and have been producing a version under the company name Ural.

BMW R12 or R75 ?? BMW R12.

BMW R25 ? looks like a DKW 350/500, or maybe a Zundapp 500.

BMW R35 ? Yes.
