I play computer games. At the moment I am playing world of tanks. I blow up other tanks with my tank. I enjoy it.
While I was targeting a tank today my eye was taken by this.



Anyone care to guess what it may be? All I recognised was the badge on the tank. Maybe Saxon or Paul can have a go. Seems to be a bit extra hanging off one side.

Close enough?

BMW 750 Sahara

In 1943, BMW produced the R75 (Russia and Sahara) and Zündapp the KS 750.
They were 2 wheel drive and could go anywhere.
About 35 years ago, it was a lot of them for sale in Greece.
If you ever have a chance to attend the Elephantentreffen, this is where you will see the most of them.

with the appearance of rear plunger suspension , should be a 1938 R71. Originally designed as a tourer .





it's obvious Rossko needs to get out more on his K. Happy hunting.

Looking at the cylinder heads, its more like a hybrid of the R71 and the R75.... An R73

I used to play that - did you drive over it    or try to save it   ?

You gottA run that stuff over

Two cylinders after all

"the CEMEC ( French) began to manufacture complete motorcycles, producing models derived from BMW designs for the French administration. The company constructed models made up of various German components, creating a hybrid of the R71 and R75 models, under the name R73".
The heads on the 71 should be flat, tank tool box is correct, the 73 was produced after the war, and the 75 doesn't have plunger.
 from this we can only assume the graphics program used to create the game may have been limited in its function, 
or the creator just used bits and pieces from the 71 , 73 , 75.which may have produced variations in the styling seen in the game.. just trying to confuse us all.
apart from that , game on , and to them the victor.
