Non US/European Motorized Bicycles

So a friend rolled up on his fuji powered bike. Hes had it for thirty years or more. Didnt know what it was until today. Thanks go to Ludwig again!
His antique motorcycle buddy searced and never found anything. I have pictures.
 
Reccomend any app for resizing images? Its on my iphone. Hang on-i have an idea

Emailed it to me. Hope it works.

He drove it to my house, claimed had it wound out on runway at 45 MPH!!
I cautioned him against going that fast, the tires are pretty ratty looking, can almost see tube through the cracks. He rides it regularily.
 
Hes pushin 70, dont think falling off a bike would be a good thing. Trying to get a look at his old friction drive he has stashed away.

The MAW is quite a popular engine for European collectors, I presume it's reasonably reliable. How is the sprocket fitted?

22cc Honda 4 stroke in Japan. The rider had to get registration as a moped since the bike can run without pedalling.

This is about as rare as it gets, early 1950s, a Japanese licence made Lohmann compression ignition engine.

This lovely modern vintage fake is listed in several Brazilian pages as being an English bike, grandmother of them all. I haven't got the heart to explain to them.

I like the levitating gas tank. Funny looking bikes. Maybe they are run through a puddle and pre-shrunk.... like jeans?
