World War I Motorcycles in the Russian Empire - Iconic Photos 1

Ever wondered what motorcycles did the Russians ride 100 years ago?

Russians didn’t have any motorcycle factory a century ago. But that didn’t mean they were using only bicycles. In fact, there were riding a lot of American motorcycles those times. As they were used by the army, Indian and Harley-Davidson badges were common during World War I. 

The guys at englishrussia did a great thing collecting some Iconic photos of those times. Here are some of them. You can find the rest on englishrussia website.
