Isn't that a lovely engine? Who built it, how much engine capacity had it, when was it presented? One point for this informations.

Due to its compactness and 90° turning from upright mounting: Motorcycle engine fed by mixture-compressor?

Hit! This bike was only used twice in national races. The motor shall remain on the wardrobe of the design office for a long time. Where did you get the great photos? They are worth a "sichel-bee". And you get a point too, of course.
