A replica BMW R71 built in China in 1961, the Chang is a curious piece of engineering. Capable of being field stripped with a dime in a bog the motorcycle has been a staple of Chinese miltary, Police and civilian life since they were given the original plans by the Russians (who got them from the Germans after WW2) in the 50's.
This particular one was refurbished in Shanghai and shipped to my father in 2005.
