The real bike was a brand new red 1977 Suzuki GS 750. M'enfin, là, ça ressemble plus à une Kawasaki...

They've certainly got a Suzuki GS, 550 or 750,, lets go for 750 to maintain some semblance of historical accuracy.

This scene is a very authentic remake -inkl.license-plate, position of the VW, the Heinkel-Roller and even the people- of the death of Benno Ohnesorg, a student, which was shot by a policeman on the 2.June 1967 at the demonstration against the Persian Schah in West-Berlin. This was the initial for the German "1968" and the terrorism of the 70ies, too.
