[WWIIish] Dnepr MT-11

[Phaelen Bleux]

The last of the vehicles featured in the Raider of the Lost Ark chase scene (the stats for the horse can be found in Basic):

Design Notes (Supplemental): I created this design using Vehicles rather than the MVDS to reflect it's post-war origins. This probably has little bearing on the design except for the price, as noted below.

Dnepr MT-11 with Sidecar (TL7)
The Dnepr motorcycle has its origins in the German BMW R71 motorcycle. This motorcycle was license-built by the Soviet Union in 1940. After the war, KMZ continued to produce motorcycles based on the German Wanderer design, which was confiscated as reparations. Production of a military motorcycle (the M-72) began in 1952, with the Dnepr motorcycle being introduced in 1967 to celebrate the Great October Socialist Revolution. In the 1970s, these bikes were marketed in the UK as Cossack motorcycles. After the fall of the Soviet Union, production ceased.
The bike's origins might help explain why is it featured in Raiders of the Lost Ark as a 1930s German military bike.
The MT-11 features two-wheel drive (the sidecar wheel is attached to the transmission). The bike features two cycle seats, and a sidecar for another passenger and cargo storage. The MT-11 burns 1.1 gallons of gasoline per hour.
