I posted this as I have never seen one before and to be honest thought it was a smart and unusual little bike,Glad others liked itand thanks for the info.Hope you are well Adrie.regards Andy.

That Imme is indeed a rare bike.
Single sided front & rear fork, both monoshock, interchangeable wheels and the exhaust pipe is part of the frame.

All good here andy.
The Imme also had a spare wheel next to the rearwheel, there was a Guzzi wich had one in front of the engine

Wow. Thats different.

So the engine must be unsprung!!
That little bike certainly has a lot of original thinking in it.

Dengdengdeng,rengadengadengdeng,dengdeng !

As you might have found out already, there was also a 2 cylinder Imme of the same principle. Very few were built though!

Thanks for that Klaus it seems to be of interest to a few people not just me,its nice you and Adrie shed a bit of light on the maker.

Vincent, as you said: ‘the good old days’… It’s a understatement that nowadays the ‘old (british) motorcycles scene’ is unfortunately a ‘dying afair’ overhere. As we can see on the pictures it atracks an decreasing crowd of bold, gray haired old man (like me..) and in the end it will fade away I guess…
