Well done Mecki.. Im impressed.. 100 points to you... :popcorn:
Nice to see that IZH didn't skimp on production costs, obviously a kickstart rubber is an optional extra :mfr_lol:
It reminds me of an MZ :yes:
I need to find a harder one for you to guess.. :yes:
Try this one.. :popcorn:
Is it a Jawa?
It's a Puch 250 as sold by Allstate in the USA. 1960s vintage.
Now, what is this bike? Yes, I have obscured the name & model but should be easy enough.
Van vien kriedler rotary?
Suzuki RE5?

Yes Boomer... Its a 1963 Sears Allstate Puch 250cc. :clap:
:popcorn: :popcorn:
I change my mind and go with Geoff's answer - definitely a Van Veen and not a Suzuki.

Bridgestone?
No, it's not a Bridgestone Geoff.
I'll put you out of your misery, its a 'Meguro' , which was the bike which sort of formed the basis of K.H.I back in the mid 60s, I reckon it looks like Japans version of the well proven BSA C15..... its rare.
The Blue bike is also a Kawasaki Based machine, and is a rare 'American Eagle' and was built around the Kawasaki H1, it wasn't very successful and consequently there aren't many left, I reckon its not the best styling excercise

Van Veen OCR1000. :cool:
Spot on Bryn. If anyone has ever ridden one you would know that the Suzi RE5 and the Notrun Commander and F1 were the only other Wankel engined bikes.
They are NOT rotary as Rotaries are aircraft engines where the whole engine rotates and is attached to the propellor,.... and the crankshaft is fixed to the plane.
I rode an OCR once and it makes the Wing, Z1300 and GTR1400 motors seem crude and rough which ain't bad when you consider they were made from 1975 to 1980.
You do need to recalibrate your brain though as there is NO engine braking at all.
Very nice, very expensive and very rare and I want one. :yes:
