40 Greatest Military Motorcycles

FN Motorcycle Company (Liege) had sold civilian motorcycles to the Belgian Army since the beginning of the Great War. After providing M86 motorcycles for troops in 1936, they decided to up the ante and develop a model solely for military use. Hence, the M12. She was drastically better than the previous M86 mostly because she came with a nice roomy sidecar equipped with machine gun mountings for both front and rear maneuverability/attack. In addition, the engine was a bit more powerful, pushing both the rear and sidecar wheels. The addition of a reverse gear made navigating tight spaces a breeze. The M12 was considered to be one of the more maneuverable bikes for the war effort.
