From Wikipedia:
According to official accounts, after lengthy discussion, the BMW R71 motorcycle was found to closely match the Red Army's requirements. Five units were covertly purchased through Swedish intermediaries. Soviet engineers in Moscow dismantled the five BMWs, reverse engineered the BMW design in every detail and made molds and dies to produce engines and gearboxes in Moscow. Early in 1941, the prototypes of the M-72 motorcycle were shown to Stalin who made the decision to enter mass production. One of the original BMWs purchased through the Swedish intermediaries survives, and is displayed in the IMZ-Ural factory museum.

Wonder if the clearance would allow an FR-S underneath...

You have no idea how tempted I have been when I come up behind one of those things while driving to the cottage! There are some big ones that I am pretty sure I could make it through.

Can't hurt to stop and ask to take a photo. I'd do it in a heartbeat.
