A friend of mine is traveling in Hawaii and spotted what appears to be an older BMW with sidecar there. He made some photos which I thought I'd share. The location of this is "The Holualoa Kona Coffee Company" in Holualoa, HI.

My guess is this is a Chinese Chang Jiang 750. I believe it's a knock off of the R71.
 
I'm guessing the Chinese Chang Jiang is a knockoff of a Russian Ural, Cossack, or Dneiper motorcycle. But, that's just a wild guess. :dunno:)
 
And using the BMW Roundel on a club's logo was taboo :hungover
Hope the location of that isn't in the metadata.........:)

Not much to guess about, the photo says it all.

Chiang Jiang M1S, overhead valves make it a late '70s vintage (previous 750 was flathead). Parts are readily available, from Sidecarpro Some chassis parts are interchangeable with Dnepr and Ural.
