Clear

US AND CANADIAN BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE; BECAUSE OF SIMPLIFIED CUSTOMS-REQUIREMENTS NO LONGER AN OFFICIALPASSPORT IS NEEDED FOR SHIPPING.BECAUSE OF THIS A VALID-CORRECT ID.-CARD OF DRIVERS-LICENCE IS ACCEPTED AGAIN BY AUTHORITIES IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE RECIPIENT.The Dnepr is made in the former USSR by the Kyivsk Motosykletnyi Zavod factory. Made in a number of variations, the whole range was based on the 2nd Worldwar BMW military cross-country machines, though little remains interchangeable with those today. A very strongly-built, shaft-drive, flat-twin with interchangeable wheels. While of little appeal to 'race-replica' fans, the Dnepr has a devoted following and a history of appearances in films such as the Indiana Jones series and by military re-enactment groups. This big 900 Lbs combination with reverse-gear was imported from Russia right after "the wall" came down in 1989 and has been in a collection of antique ex-government motorcycles since. It has been used by the Soviet Road-control forces ДПС (DPS), which unit is still in existence today, https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%BD%D0%BE-%D0%BF%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B1%D0%B0The odometer reads 884 km (550 mile) only don't know what this reading means.. -It could be that the complete speedo-unit has been replaced by a new one after the mechanics were rebuilded (for sure the gearbox with reverse-gear is nos), or whether the odometer started to count all over again after it reached the 99999 km-number (=60.000 miles). Anyway, it starts at first kick and the bullet-proof 750cc side-valve flat-twin engine is running as smooth as smooth can be. Furthermore I had a little ride with it through our field, which ride was a nice experience, as the machine completely worked like should, but also because of the unexpected amount of torque that the engine provided. The graphics on the combination are painted and both blue flash-lights, the siren and the search-light are in complete working condition and can (for legal reasons) eventually be disengaged by removing a fuse.It still has the early K750 engine with special cilinder-heads, -wheels and original special front-fork (with horizontal hydraulic dampers!) fitted, where the engine is equipped with a pair of USSR-made K65 high performance carburetors. Also the cover for the sidecar is still with it (see image).Another thing that's nice to know is the fact that ALL parts for this motorcycle can be bought online against very decent prices, either in used, nos or after-market quality and have no problem to share the details of a couple very professional Dnepr parts-specialists (who both have a trick-website) whenever required. This combination comes with an official European Certificate of Origin which document will be issued in your name and states the make, model, year of manufacture, displacement, weight etc, plus an official bill of sale from my company here in Belgium. Furthermore I’ll make sure that all the correct export-paperwork will be in place before the bike leaves from here, which documents will make the process of importing it into the US an easy ride. -On this listing I’m offering a special (fully sealed) motorcycle crate, careful packing and physical shipping from here in Belgium to a US CFS as close as possible to you at my expense, meaning that I will pay for having the bike crated and all handling etc. plus the ocean-freight charge, where you are responsible for all charges at your (US) end, like entry fees, port, handling and eventually broker fees etc.If you want any additional information about this, please ask before you place a bid.
