Chinese Takeaway: Chang Jiang 750

In short: the Soviets scored a pair of BMW R1939s in 71. They copied them and they became the now seriously appreciated M72s. When the 'Russians' got tired of the idea, the former German concept moved to China. There it was renamed Chang (Or 'Xiang') Jiang. Named after the Yangtze River, Blue River or Chang Jiang, the longest river in Asia and the third in length in the world, after the Amazon in South America and the Nile in Africa.
