Other Bikes » 1909 Anzani W3

Here is a new one on me. The Anzani W3 built during the early 1900's. Check out the handlebars.

With those bars, the turning radius is measured in miles. Love the streamlined tank. I'll bet it's wheelie prone with the rider basically behind the rear wheel.

Anzani is famous for using that engine in aircraft. I think it may have been used on the first aircraft to cross the English Channel.

With those bars and seat it was probably used as a bicycle pacer in a velodrome. The motorcyclist sits bolt upright to protect the following cyclist from the wind. Either that or some form of cycling speed record.

Here is another new one on me. A 1949 Wooler flat four.
