IMZ-Ural
IMZ - Irbit Motorzykli Zavod is a
Russian maker of
motorcycles. In 1939 development started on the IMZ through the secret purchase of five
BMW R71 that then were copied. The first M-72 model was finished in 1941. Originally the factory was located in
Moscow but due to the approach of
German troops, it was moved to Irbit.
