Nimbus Ofenrohr Special -Stovepipe- from 1923

It has old restoration with good general condition and work.

One of the 279 units manufactured in 1923.

In addition, it has a lot of extra parts for its time like:  electric light system of dynamo, speedometer, amperemeter, rear seat and horn.

The first Nimbus motorcycle had a four-cylinder inline engine of 746 cc (45.5 cu in) capacity, which drove the rear wheel through a shaft drive rather than the chain usually used at that time, and a power output of approximately 10 hp. It had both front and rear wheel suspension, and soon acquired the nickname of “Stovepipe” due to the thick, round pipe between the saddle and handlebars which as well as forming part of the bike’s chassis contained the petrol tank.

Two more machines were constructed in 1919, but mass production did not begin until ‘Fisker & Nielsen’ became a limited liability company in 1920.
