CJ750 R71 clone. Based on 1938 BMW R71. Story is the original German tooling passed from Russians after WW2 to Chinese in the 50's. Chinese military used these 50's, 60,s Possibly longer. This Bike was purchased by me about 10 years ago in semi kit form. Looked like nos parts, o miles engine(i saw inside when building) Painted dark gray(panzer gray) I changed color of sidecar to match a 1941 zundapp that I had for a few years Good overall condition, some scratches and scuffs Runs good. This is 1930's technology so It does require tinkering.Kick and electric start reverse gear Wheels came unassembled I had a bike shop put them together but they could probably use some more truing. A few spokes missing Bike is still very rideable and fun. They were not designed for highway speeds. Parts are available online. I have some manuals that come with bike and a cover for sidecar(tonneau) Transferrable nys registration, Registered as 1938 BMW. Mileage is what I have put on it since I acquired it. Odometer was at 0, and is working as is speedo,which is in kilometers
