Either the Korean army had them, they had surplus from WWII, or, got Chinese bikes. I think for accuracy, maybe a Chang Giang if they were making it today produced by Matthew Weiner. But not the M72 which was patterned after a Russian bike copied from an older BMW, because that was around 56 it seems. <br /><br />So, would have been maybe one of these. Although the numbers were maybe too small to have been given to Korans maybe. So, maybe an old American British or Japanese bike left over from WWII.<br /><br />In 1950, the Peoples Liberation Army Beijing No. 6 Automotive Works developed a military motorcycle by reverse engineering a German Zundapp KS500 motorcycle. The Zundapp-based machine entered production in 1951. 4,248 were built before military motorcycle production was transferred to the Hongdu and Xingjiang machinery plants. Both factories remain subsidiaries of the state-run aeronautics industry to this day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794531630367452003.post-28076418327521395982019-07-11T07:05:16.429-07:002019-07-11T07:05:16.429-07:00BJ acquires the bike in the Season 10 episode &quo...BJ acquires the bike in the Season 10 episode "Blood and Guts" when a wounded soldier gives it to him in gratitude.
