Re: Non US/European bikes
From India, as far as the Google translation makes sense, is this combination motorcycle and agricultural power unit/tractor. Before anybody laughs, think on a minute. A people with almost no money and no access to ready made machinery will come up with things from what they have to hand.
India is still in a pioneer phase in many areas. Hats off to the builder.

Re: Non US/European bikes
Maruuchi bike, Nakajima single speed belt drive
1930s/1940s Kochi Blue Bird with Yamazaki engine
Exhibit in the Meguro/Kawasaki museum. Rather reminds one of the BSA Winged Wheel; Meguro bought the manufacturing rights to the A7 500 twin later, so a possible link there.

Ludwig, thank you so much for making these threads with pictures of obscure bikes! Its really cool to see how no idea is new and how every different combination has been tried.
