description: Under very different political regimes for a considerable period, East and West Germany produced some highly innovative &amp; competitive racing machinery. German motorcycles were often in the vanguard of technical progress &amp; were good enough to win world titles. In this respect, the top names in the solo categories were NSU and Kreidler, while BMW, Fath, Munch, &amp; König did the business on three wheels. Like Japan, Germany was faced with rebuilding a shattered country following World War II. Like the Japanese, they overcame all the problems not only to create an economic miracle, but also to construct world-beating motorcycles. Germany's success contributed to the development of the sport in a wide variety of ways -- engineers, machines, riders, circuits, &amp; even record-breakers.
