IZh-1 motor cycle (1929). The first IZH series motor cycles were created in Izhevsk (Republic of Udmurtia). A team of enthusiast engineers designed and built five test motor cycles of the IZh series which featured many original technical solutions. They carried various engines, sturdy frames with incorporated exhaust tubes. In 1929 the first IZh motor cycles took part in the All-Russian cross-country motor-cycle race and covered more than 3000 km. Izh-2 motor cycle, with a centrifugal engine-cooling system and quiet exhausts, showed the best results. The designers used the experience gained in the race to create the first serial motor cycle at Promet, a Leningrad factory. The Izh-1 specifications include a four-time two-cylinder engine (1200 cub. cm), and max speed of 70 kmph.

When the nazi troops advanced closer to Moscow the motor cycle production lines were evacuated to Irbit, Sverdlovsk region. As a combat vehicle, the motor cycle was equipped with 7.62mm infantry machine-guns, with a machine-gun bullet box in the boot, an anti-tank grenade box in the side-car, and a bag for the crew's paraphernalia. After the war the Irbit plant continued to produce M-72 motor cycles, and until 1961 a modernised version named M-72-M was also produced.
