Imperial Russian Army motorcycles in WWI

During the First World War motorcycles began to replace horses. For combat operations the sidecar was used extensively. It was ideal for mounting machine guns and they were often used for escort duty at the front and rear of truck convoys.

These are the various models of motorcycles fielded by the Russian Army during WWI. American Harley's and Indians are prevalent. British Rovers, Nortons, and Bonhams Sunbeams are also shown.
