Nimbus 750 is an example of the Danish motorcycle industry of the 30s

Strange, but it is believed that motorcycles in Europe were made in Germany and neighboring countries. They say they copied those techniques and churned out “clones.” The Soviet Union is also accused of taking away German lines and not coming up with their own. And there is a considerable amount of truth in this. Only stories from the USSR were initially adapted to their realities and modified. The main thing is that they were produced in the Soviet Union, without the “brotherly” help of their neighbors. But motorcycles were also made in Denmark, and quite famous ones at that. They were called Nimbus.


The author of the “KrasMoto” channel will tell you about the model of this brand with an index of 750. The motorcycle shown in the video was considered the most reliable. It is even more strange that it was distinguished by specific technical solutions. The Nimbus 750 engine is an inline four, and also an overhead valve. Let us remember that we are talking about a motorcycle that appeared in the 30s. With a volume of 750 cm3, the power unit produced 9 liters. With. The bike also has a cardan transmission from the engine to the rear wheel. This subtly hints that the model is reliable. By the way, 50% of the Nimbus 750 produced are still running, statistics say. It is possible that the Danes are careful with motorcycles. Or do they just have a short season? In any case, the bike is beautiful.
