IZH-49 Soviet Motorcycle

It is a Soviet motorcycle with a long history, produced from 1951 to 1958. This motorcycle was renowned for its excellent performance and reliability, and was deeply loved by the middle class of the Soviet Union at that time. The design inspiration comes from the German DKWNZ-350 motorcycle, but has been localized and improved by Soviet engineers. It has excellent off-road capabilities, with a wading depth of up to 200 millimeters, a maximum speed of 90 kilometers per hour, and fuel economy, requiring only 4.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Not only was it widely popular within the Soviet Union, but it also became a cultural symbol of an era.
