if you never looked at bikeexif, now you should

OK, so the Majestic looks like a giant blue cheese grater, I get that.

But...the Killinger und Freund? That thing is bad ass. A 600cc, three cylinder, radial two-stroke, wrapped in Art Deco sheet metal.

Just look at that engine.

That, is fucking awesome.

The text on bikeexif implies that the engine was hiding in the front fender, which is so much less awesome than being a radial inside the front wheel. That is truly badass engineering!

You are just now figuring that out.

I'd love to look at that engine, that is a work of art. I'll bet the rest of the bike is similarly bad ass. Now why hide it under all that shitty looking sheet metal? Knowing the awesome that is hiding under the horrendous bodywork actually makes me like the bike less. Call it Art Deco if you like but it looks like it was hammered out by a half-starved blind slave, which is entirely possible when you consider the source of the bike.

I wonder how that bitch would handle. Especially if the 1940s tire tech could handle it.

Pretty fucking cool shit, but sounds like a giant waste of WW2 resources on Germany's part.

But god damn, is that shit cool. I'd like to see someone do it now. There's got to be some bored CalTech engineers out there who would love to reverse engineer that (especially if htey could find one).
