Military Motorcycles for sale, 1946
Tanks, submarines, and fighter planes often get more recognition, but the motorcycle played an important role during World War II. The motorcycle offered a quick and easy way for scouts and messengers to maneuver through the battlefields. Both sides, the Axis and the Allied forces, made use of motorcycles in every arena of war. Motorcycles were used to escort convoys and motorcades, transport the wounded, and deliver supplies. The conclusion of the war did not end some soldier’s love of the motorcycle. When they returned home, many of them bought a surplus military motorcycle, like the ones seen here, to ride on the open road.
