Marianne & The R68


Photo by R.G.Everts, April 1952.

One of my very favorite picture-of-a-woman-on-a-motorcycle (and I love pictures-of-women-on-motorcycles)!

Belgian Journalist Marianne Weber testing the brand new BMW R68 for French magazine Motocyclette (issue 81/August 18th, 1952), during that session she achieved a top speed of more than 160 km/h.
In 1954, she also made a honorable 162,895 km/h (101,24 mph) in a kilometer lancé nearby the City of Waterloo (Belgium).
