During World War II, motorcycles played an essential role and several models were in use. The U.S. mainly used the Harley-Davidson WLA and the Indian 841. Over in Germany, they opted for the BMW R75 and the Zündapp KS 750. The British, on the other hand, used the Norton 16H and the Triumph Speed Twin. These motorcycles were crucial for reconnaissance missions, courier services, and for rapid troop movement.
