I will process your videos and publish them on our motorcycle CZcams channel - Jawa Tino
I was born in 1962 and I remember the Danish postal service using these. Painted a dull, mustard-like yellow, and always with a boxy sidecar for the letters and packages.
Thank goodness there are still people who can and do restore these old machines ❤️👍
Brings back memories of my working life as I must be one of only a few people in England to have ever worked on a Nimbus.
Brings back memory of my childhood, a friend's father had one, back in the 50's and 60's.
Beautiful motorcycles, I got to try a 600cc without a sidecar forty years ago, but I will never forget the Nimbus.
Nilsen & Fisker which later on became Nilfisk, well known for their industrial hoovers.
We had two in our sidecar club in the US for ages. Both owners have passed on and the bikes have gone to owners out of state... Magnificent bikes. They were the highlight when they came!
Very cool and unique !! Thanks for sharing another motorcycle that I didn't know existed !!!👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
In a Museum of Argentine restaured from a family of Wolgadeutschen exist a Nimbus 1000 cc !!!! A great machine in perfect condition and working !!!!
What a nice bike, and I'd never even heard of Nimbus.
The engine sounds like a Honda CB 750 in 1970. The frame is made of flat iron and it runs 120km/h? Wow, what a hell drive! - In 1985 i saw a fisherman in DK, using the bike w/h sidecar transporting fish in a box in all day use from trawler to the market. The typical noise makes me look up.
Denmark in the 80s must of been a special place.
It maybe can run 120 km/h but it won’t do that for long. The rear cylinders will overheat and grind to a miserable hold. The cruising speed solo is about 80-90 km/h and about 65-70 km/h with sidecar.
When I was a kiddo I remember seeing a lot of nimbus around, but now it's so rare to see them. But I know one, that I often see parked the same spot on the street, all year around. And yes I'm from denmark.
Гарний мотоцикл, дякую за відео!👍
Schönes und erfrischend einfach aufgebautes Gespann.Gefällt mir sehr gut
What a fantastic bike!
Outstanding machine
Was hoping to see/hear highway footage. All those old I-4 bikes just purred at speed, smooth as silk : )
Built to last.
Nice, but a sliight correktion; The A and B models was not OHV but sidevalved engines, still 750 cc with 3 gears and shaft drive. They were called the Stowepipes, due to the backbone frame, that dubbeled as a fueltank.
A slight correction to your correction: Model A and B had IOE (Inlet Over Exhaust) Engines.
_Danish design_
Very cool frame.
First time I’ve actually seen a running !Nimbus! 👍 Wow so neat !
Cool that someone take care of bikes from the 1930s looks like a henderson copy ty for video.
Awesome
If it rains, just stop and get on the sidecar :-D
Tolles Motorrad . Tolle Konstruktion . Einfach und sehr praktisch.
Thank you from Egypt .
Superbe motocyclette , Bravo les Danois ...
Sparks flying off the plug wires
That is a beautiful Machine and I love the color🪄✨🤪👍🏻✨ Nimbus♥️✨
What a nice tick-over.....not hunting, not labouring, not racing, not stalling, but perfect.
In Denmark you can stil getting all parts for this bike . In Denmark today there are a lot of old Nimbus still .
Thanks for sharing
Magnificent!
Saw one in Daytona many years ago, and was absolutely amazed. It kicked over first time, and ran like a sewing machine.
I had not intended to intrude myself upon your notice in this effective but alarming costume
-It's a unique bike and i really like it. Wish i had a machine like this Sidecar and all.
Of about 12.000 produced, 4.000 is still registered and runing in Denmark. New spareparts is also still available 🙂
I saw narrow drum brakes on 2 wheels. At least the sidecar had a brake.
Es hermosa 🥰
very cool. you really do a nice job on these vids, i'm seeing a lot of bikes for the first time.
Neetoo 🏍🖖🏼👍🏼✌️😎
Woah!

Great .
Did the sidecar have brakes--it looked like a brake hub?
Супер Бомба
EXCELLENT !!!
Nothing makes a buzz noise as "the flat iron rocket" at full speed.
For Danes it's recognizabel from far distance.
Beautiful example.
What a Beautiful old girl, sounds good too !
I suddenly feel depressed, because I know I will newer get my hands on one of those.
The bands around the gas tank and lower frame are built like a bridge from the 30s riveted👍🏻🏗🛕🗼
a beautiful engine, I love the open valves. It has something hypnotocal, I think I'd crash that bike as I couldn't stop looking at them.
Bimoto ! SUPER BIKE !
Rex, a British brand also claims to be the first to use telescopic forks, may be the first in Britain, I don't know for sure.
That frame must flex! How does the bike handle?
Pretty okay concidering that it’s a construction that’s more than 60 years old.
👍👍👍
It’s a shame that the bike is trailered. Bikes like that should be ridden by owners, just my opinion
Just so everyone knows, I will ride your motorcycle just so you don't have to!!! No charge for short rides....little charge for anything over a week
yes, but the nimbus is no fun over 70km/h so at the motorway where cars do 130 and trucks 90 km/h it is dangerous, remember these machines was made back roads where bad and doing 60 was really fast
I like how the whole famaly hopes on good thing its a 750 that was like honda gold wing of the day
It looks like it has torque but that sidecar need the wheel to be drive like the BMW
🏍👍😎

🤘😎🤘
Showing only +3k Km on the clock. I wouldn't accept that at face value.
Honestly I,m abit more interested in the Bimoto
Damned iron curtain! Denmark is next land to Latvia but because of fucking communists we never knew about such beautiful and cool motorcycles like this one.
May I criticize your thumbnail:
You announce a Nimbus motorcycle & what do we see?
A sidecar…

I think I hear a little tappet noise...
Wow! Never seen this manufacturer before. Hope someone makes a reproduction?
I believe it is possible to build a Nimbus from NOS parts. Some years ago I heard of a Danish company which offered to do just that.
@@anderspedersen7488 Thank you. I'll look into that. :)
Any speed above 45 mph with a sidecar is risking death. I am not talking about the very special sidecars that race like the Mann TT.

That frame doesn't look very strong to me, rather thin and flimsy.
It was strong enough to be used by the Danish military, postal service (and possibly the police). I was born in 1962 and I remember the Danish postal service using these. Painted a dull, mustard-like yellow, and always with a boxy sidecar for the letters and packages.
@@JanBruunAndersenhow would you feel if you see one now?
flexiflyer
To bad it has open valves. Dirt, dust, rain. Lack of oil on the valve guides. I know other companys did it, but its still a bad design. Oh well that was a different time. Beautiful bike.
Look like an american motorcycle or war vehicle
