How 'bout a Dnepr 16?

From their eBay site....not very confidence inspiring

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes-Dnepr-16-copy-BMW-2010-Dnepr-16-2wd-w-sidecar_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45ef74b18cQQite mZ300370145676QQptZUSQ5fmotorcycles

"The history of the Dnepr began in the ranks of military some 50 years ago. It was made to be agile, to be able to go places that defied the imagination and to last many years under the most unforgiving conditions. And in the years since it has proven to be a valuable asset in the military's arsenal - the unstoppable muscular breed of vehicle army had been looking for. All told, more than 1,500,000 Dneprs have been produced for the armed forces. It was only a matter of time before the Dneprs's extraordinary powers were called upon by the nonmilitary sector. KMZ's decision to sell to the public finally allowed nonmilitary personnel to experience the exceptional off-road performance and problem-solving abilities of this military-based bike.

This bike was developed for WW2 to overcome any terrain that may come in its way. In this auction the bike is the exact replica of the BMW R71. The bike was designed to 1930’s specs, so there is some mechanical knowledge bike. Please remember that you are not bidding on a 2008 motorcycle, this bike will require some maintenance and know how. It was built very simple and easy to work on. It might no always start on the first time, it might have some other issues sometimes, but this is a piece of history. You must understand the technology used to create this replica is the same as it was in the 1930’s. This bike is like no other, everybody will admire this bike on the street."
