As far as our information and history goes, Russian were licensed by DKW to carry out the production of the Luxus 300 motorbike. The Russians then stared creating their version of the bike in a manufacturing facility in Leningrad, Sankt Petersburg. The ‘L’ in the name of the bike stands for the name of the city.
Krasnyi OktyabrThe Red Octover L-300 motorcycle received the brand name of Krasnyi Oktyabr. However, it took a dip in performance chiefly because of a very useless gas being used by the Russia. Consequently, the elegant and enigmatic German made two wheeler turned into a weaker vehicle with around 6 HP less powerful powertrain. Also, the production shifted to a manufacturing facility in Izh.
It will be quite a thing to see this motorcycle worked on and completely restored. It will surely look terrific and spectacular. It will surely win the hearts of motorbike enthusiasts.
