Prairiehammer Posted March 8, 2014 Share #453 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) 2011 van-veen-ocr-1000-rotary-engine-motorcycle Well, Tooch. You've done it again...was the year a typo? 'Cause the one I pictured (BTW, although the rules don't specifically require it, we have been posting the original picture that the OP presented when we discover the correct answer) is a 1974. And: "Van Veen completed its first prototype in 1974 using a 1000 cc Comotor 624 twin-rotor Wankel engine. Small-series production of the OCR 1000 production model began in 1978 and ceased in 1981, after poor press reviews and complications with Comotor engine production.[1] 38 examples were built." So, once again, we have to admonish the Canucks, while simultaneously, but grudgingly accepting their dicey answer. All in the name of International relations. Next! http://motoralbum.sytes.net/Bikes/Van_Veen_OCR_1000_1974.jpg Edited March 8, 2014 by Prairiehammer Trying to show the Canucks how it is done.

The Tooch Posted March 8, 2014 Share #454 Posted March 8, 2014 Interesting again...I did a direct cut and paste with that photo but I see that it could not be a 2011 with a little more research. Obvious typo with that photo, maybe when it was uploaded! Can't find your source photo....1978 on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tooch Posted March 8, 2014 Share #455 Posted March 8, 2014 Interesting that in your photo the front disk is trailing & the one I found it is leading. Also Crome exhaust on the one I found. Here's another one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted March 8, 2014 Share #458 Posted March 8, 2014 Can't find your source photo. I found it here: http://motoralbum.hu/123.htm BUT, further research may prove you are correct with the "2011" date, because apparently someone purchased all the original Van Veen components and assembled some in 2011. "But that wasn’t the end of the OCR-1000. In mid 2011, a surprising announcement was made. Two Dutchmen, Dirk Knip and Andries Wielinga had bought the mothballed tooling for the OCR and would build a final run of 10 bikes. Thus the new 2011 Van Veen, same as the old Van Veen, was born. A brand new-old OCR was yours for the price of 115000$. No I did not accidentally add a zero. Makes the original 15000$ price tag seem quite reasonable in comparison. The 2011 OCR was revealed to the press and limited demos were offered to a few journalists." http://www.odd-bike.com/2012/12/van-veen-ocr-1000-dutch-wankel-powered.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted March 8, 2014 Share #463 Posted March 8, 2014 Got a year? And I'll let you have a range they were built. Introduced in 1956 and updated in 1959, it was produced by Ateliers de Construction de Motocycles et Automobiles (ACMA), the licensed assembler of Vespas in France at the time.[1] Modifications from the civilian Vespa included a reinforced frame and a three inch recoilless rifle mounted to the scooter.[1][2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickhandle2 Posted March 8, 2014 Share #468 Posted March 8, 2014 Wow! Your Dad had one of those Sunbeams? Did you ride it? What was it like? Smooth, loud, or rough? Kevin no idea what it was like, not sure if that was the year or not but it was around then. He had it way before I was even a glint in his eye. Funny enough last summer when I was visiting him, my uncle shows up, during our conversation I find out that my uncle had an Indian when he was a young guy. Pretty cool, I only wish I could've seen pictures of their bikes. OK back to your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tooch Posted March 8, 2014 Share #475 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I could.... but then I bet you'd really complain..instead of just being sarcastic! Actually I'm using the iPad and not the desk top so I have a hard time moving pictures around on this thing.
