The history of the domestic motorcycle

Russia Post released a set of 3 stamp on the history of the domestic motorcycle on 29th August 2019 depicting PMZ A-750, IZH-8 and Ural-Sahara.

Prototype motorcycles in the USSR appeared in the late 1920s. Their creation is connected with the name of the designer Pyotr Mozharov, under whose leadership Izhstalzavod produced samples of the first izh. However, this experience in motorcycle production was not continued. The very first serial Soviet motorcycle was the L-300 "Red October", released in 1930 in Leningrad. And only in the late 1940s.
