Modern army motorcycles are usually slightly more compressed, not too heavy all-roads in a green jacket. They are even available in diesel versions. The motorcycles during WWII were usually very recognizable civilians on 'our' side who were called into arms. They were quite often single-cylinder four-stroke side-valve engines, because they linked reliability to simplicity. On the German side, designers were often carried away by their 'advantage through technology' genes. That led to impressive and complicated machines like the BMW R75 and so on. And as it turned out: You don't win a war with that.
