BMW R75, as that is what the Wehrmacht used during WWII, and the characters are a spoof on the Nazis. |

That doesn't necessarily mean that the motorbike really is an R75... |

It's definetely post-war and not in military-trim. By the way: the Wehrmacht have used all kinds of motorbikes, they could get (resp.requiring), except bikes from the 20ies and small ones (less than 250 ccm, but I'm not sure about the exact engine-size). |
