Airhead Photos - Unknown Vintage Airhead in Hawaii

[exgman]

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.

No expert, here, but I think that may be a Chinese variant of a Ural, the roundels notwithstanding.

I believe that is a Chang Jiang.

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.

And using the BMW Roundel on a club's logo was taboo
Hope the location of that isn't in the metadata.........

Looks like the emblems are "stick on".

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.

edit-overhead valve engine was introduced in late 80s

"Not much to guess about" if you read Chinese.

if you read Chinese.

... or if you're familiar with Chiang Jiang / Dnepr history.
