Boxer motorcycles are a German invention, so it is believed. Almost every Ural or Dnepr fan knows this. Wake him up at night, after a stream of abuse, he will definitely share information about what the Germans from BMW came up with in opposition. And then the Soviet Union copied this idea, or rather, a whole motorcycle. By the way, Urals are still produced in Russia. And precisely the opposite ones. And if you dig deeper, it turns out that the first bikes of this type were not made by the Germans, but by the British. The Douglas company mastered motorcycles with 200 cm3 engines, and then reached the liter. Their bikes had one more feature, besides boxer engines. They have an unexpectedly belt drive to the rear wheel.
By the way, modern BMW motorcycles are mostly opposed. True, the engines are heavily modernized, unlike the Ural engines, but still impressive. Almost no one is producing bikes like this anymore in 2024. Although, no, Honda has one model. This is Gold Wing. It has a unique boxer engine in its frame. It is not two, but six-cylinder. Of course, there is a volume of 1,8 liters. But BMW continues to produce “double-boiler” engines. And the author of the “Mysportbike” channel will introduce you to new opposition bikes.
