Germany's Münch Mammut


Here is a 1967 Münch Mammut, at the time the largest and fastest motorcycle in the world. Designed by Friedel Münch of Münch Motorrad, its standard engine was a "massive" NSU automobile 1200 cc, 4-cyl mill. It offered three engine options, including a supercharged version. The company also offered a varied combination of seats and tanks. It was best known for its comfort and speed. The original company declared bankruptcy in 1971, then again in 1973. Today, with Friedel back in control, Mammut 2000 pushes 260 bhp and runs a limited top speed of 159 mph - and sells for more than $80,000.
