1938 PMZ-A-750  USSR 

Production of PMZ A-750 motorcycles began in Podolsk. The task was not an easy one, because the local enterprise lacked the main thing - press equipment, necessary for frame manufacturing. Despite all the difficulties the first motorcycle was ready in February 1934. It was not completely finished, but was assembled from the parts made directly at the PMZ factory without related enterprises supply. Production was headed by the creator of the first Izhevsk motorcycles - Petr Mozharov.

Though PMZ A-750 is sometimes described as "a Harley-Davidson engine in a BMW frame", in fact, one can find features typical for Indian motorcycles in its design.

PMZ A-750 was made for use in the army, NKVD units and for USSR citizens. They were willingly purchased by townspeople and villagers. The design of the motorcycle was strong enough, but, unfortunately, very capricious and unfinished. Numerous complaints about the construction led to the fact that in 1939 the motorcycle was finally removed from production.

Totally 4 636 copies of PMZ A-750 were made.

1938 PMZ-A-750 | USSR ☭ The history of PMZ began in 1900, when the famous manufacturer of sewing machines - the American company Singer - bought land in the town of Podolsk near Moscow, and two years later a huge plant appeared up there. It was here that Peter Mozharov arrived, who was tasked with establishing motor production in Podolsk. The task was very difficult, because the main thing at the plant was missing - the press equipment necessary for the manufacturing of chassis parts. In February 1934, the first motorcycle was ready - it wasn’t functional though, but already assembled from units manufactured directly at the PMZ, and not at related enterprises. Despite the difficulties with financing, by July 1934 the first ten heavy motorcycles were ready, which were given a new name: PMZ-A-750. #avernusbikerlifestyle #bikerlifestyle #biker #motorcyclelovers #bikers #bikersofinstagram #motorcycles https://www.instagram.com/p/B-k76DHA275/?igshid=kwsvl9mhexxb

1938 PMZ A-750 V-TWIN £ 18,000 - 22,000 US$ 25,000 - 30,000 First introduced in 1929 as the Model D, Harley-Davidson's hugely successful 45ci (750cc) v-twin was copied by rival manufacturers in both Europe and Japan, the example offered here being the work of the Russian PMZ factory. Isolated from the West following the communist revolution of 1917, the Soviet Union – as it then was – had few scruples about stealing designs from Western manufacturers, producing DKW-influenced two-stroke lightweights, sidevalve singles that looked remarkably like the BSA 'Sloper', and the PMZ A-750. The latter was designed at the Soviet automotive industry's technical facility – the Scientific Car and Tractor Research Institute – in 1933 and after a few prototypes had been completed at the Izhevsk motorcycle factory, production proper got under way at the Podolsky works in the Ukraine. Although its 750cc sidevalve v-twin engine had clearly been influenced by the Harley '45', the PMZ's cycle parts were unmistakably European in conception, comprising a pressed steel frame and leaf-sprung, trailing-link front fork. Despite looking like a contemporary BMW fitted with a Harley-Davidson engine, the PMZ was an undeniably handsome machine and almost certainly would have sold well abroad had overseas markets been open to it. A military version was supplied to the Red Army during WW2. Purchased in 2006, this restored machine comes with a photographic record of the work and Netherlands registration papers

The Soviet PMZ-A 750, mixed in a synthesis that was rather original German BMW R 11 solutions such as the box sheet frame, with the American Harley Davidson WL engine. Designed by Pyotr Mozharov, the first concrete example of Russian motorcycle expressly designed for military use, was designed in 1933, and production began the following year at the Podolski plant.

1938, PMZ-A-750 | USSR ☭

The manufacturing of the PMZ motorcycles was set with great difficulties. Despite of funding difficulties, the first ten heavy motorcycles were produced by July 1934. They’ve got a new name: PMZ-A-750. Nine machines went before Sergo Ordzhonikidze (a people’s commissar). Once he discovered that the plan is to produce only 500 machines in the next year, he said that 'at least 1500 units must be produced'.

The PMZ-A-750 has been used in the Army, People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs and in the civil service. City people and country folk readily bought these machines. The bike design was durable & solid but highly finicky and not refined. Motorcyclists nicknamed this machine as “Come on! Try to start me!”. A lot of complaints resulted in the decision to discontinue the manufacturing by 1939.

ПМЗ-А-750 (PMZ-A-750) | USSR ☭, 1938. In the 1930s, the Design Bureau of the Motorcycle Production of the USSR received a task to develop medium and heavy motorcycles for the army and the national economy. The first was the heavy motorcycle NATI-A-750. This motorcycle was a kind of mixture of traditions: in the chassis made in the image of BMW, was mounted engine of the American type.
