One of the three. I can't tell which one. It could be the 2nd or 3rd ones.

One of the three. I can't tell which one. It could be the 2nd or 3rd ones.

This is most likely the first one. From another source:

Test pilots get acquainted with the DB 601A-1 on the Ki.6001.

I was going by the armament since the source said it didn't have what the one in the photo has.

1. What exactly does the one in the photo have?
2. Which source said the Ki.6001 had no what the one in the photo has?

All three prototypes:

Japanese book mentions extra armament that the first one didn't have. You can go investigate it if you wish. I have course work to do today for my three classes, so I don't have time to spare. Nice chatting with you.

I read the translation wrong. It's the first one. Good catch.

Norton WD16H was a popular bike as it was reliable and easy to maintain. The Royal Enfield flying flea and Triumph 3HW were produced
in large numbers as well (Triumph was around 40,000). There was also the BSA M20 - Birmingham Small Arms company - otherwise BSA
was also known to mean Bloody Sore Arse. There were also the small paratroop bikes.


Motorcycle production in WWII was quite high with the WLA Harley coming in at 88,000, Zundapp 18,000, BMW R75 16 to 17,500,
and Moto Guzzi Alce models at over 6,000.

It's probably a large subject in itself.
