Re: the most important Bike you've never heard of
This was a really interesting watch and a great video. Who knew that one engine made in Germany was the basis for so many motorbike engines that made the motorbike what it is today

Agreed, an interesting video. I knew that the original 125cc Bantam existed because WW2 war reparations gifted BSA the original DKW design. But who knew that that same design also went to so many other manufacturers? Fortnine, obviously.
Triumph Sprint ST 1050.

Re: the most important Bike you've never heard of
So in reality, the headline is wrong - the Italjet isn't the most important motorcycle (you've never heard of), but the DKW is (even if you have heard of them).
