Saw this in a local bike repair shop. Well, one like it. The one I saw is a 1950 BMW R25 250 cc. The engine turns on an axis that is at right angles to the rotation of the wheels. It's connected to the rear end via a drive shaft. I wasn't aware that anyone used a drive shaft on bikes that early. The only BMW's I was aware of were the boxer type engine with opposed cylinders.
