Nimbus Motorcycle*
*
The Nimbus was an aircooled, four cylinder*
motorbike of 750 ccm with 21 hp.The four* 
cylinders were in a row parallel with the* 
bikes length, and it had shaft drive.* 
It was, alongside with BMW, the first* 
motorbike with telescopic forks.* 
The framework wasn't tube, but flat steel* 
bars, riveted together. Topspeed was around* 
85 km/h with sidecar. The 20mm Madsen machinegun* 
was a scaled up 8mm Madsen machine gun. The gun* 
was attached to the bike, it was in place of the* 
sidecar. It wasn't possible to shoot while driving,* 
so the Danes adopted a hit and run tactic. It was* 
possible to take of the gun, and use it directly from* 
the ground. On the 9th of April most shooting was* 
from the motorbike while stationary beside* 
the road. The Nimbus was produced from 1932 to 1960.*
