Sports motorcycles can be like this - cardans, boxers and gas turbine engines

Motorsport was a popular discipline in the Soviet Union. Teenagers in cities went to special sections. For many, this was the only opportunity to become familiar with such technology. There were no such circles in the villages, but there were plenty of bikes. Motorsport in the USSR is more of a cross-country sport. Sportbikes were far from ordinary Soviet citizens. Maybe it’s good, judging by the experience of past years. After all, the only motorcycle from the USSR that can be called a sportbike at a stretch is the Izh Planet Sport. The model, especially in the early years, was superior even to the legendary Jawa.


But foreign manufacturers have been producing sportbikes for a long time, trying to stand out. After all, this can dramatically increase sales and, accordingly, directly affects income growth. Sometimes in the process of competition strange motorcycles appear. They can be ridiculous, but often amaze with their technical characteristics. These are exactly the models that will be talked about on the Mysportbike channel. For example, the BMW company decided to play on the love of loyal fans. They made a sportbike in their own style. This means that it has a boxer engine, and the drive to the rear wheel is cardan. Well, let it not be so. But you can immediately see that this is a BMW!
