Note the odd looking handlebars and the headlights which appear to be aimed upwards. All military vehicles in the film were existing ones provided by the Danish military. Presumably this includes these motorcycles, which are part of a military procession. So whatever they are, they were in use by the Danish army at the time and provided for the movie. -- Last edit: 2009-02-05 18:43:17
