Svalans bicycle factory in Falun, Sweden, bought this motorbike in parts from the West Germany factory NSU for building them in Sweden, that's why It's the original text "NSU" at the engine side and you can find motorbikes like this one which is registered as:
NSU 501 OS-T konsul II .

I can only dream that I was the owner to the following motorbikes, but It's was easy to persuade the proud owner to take out the bikes for photographing.

Fabricate: B.S.A. 496 cc O.H.V. Q8 Empire star, 1936.

If this was a fresh 65-years old bike ...

...so what can you say about this 71-years old bike who is still going strong just like it was new, and it can be the only running model in Sweden, write to me and tell me if you have information that I don't have, I forward message to the owner too.

Fabricate: B.S.A. 250 cc O.H.V. B30-4, 1930.

This is not a "steam machine", it's a gasoline engine with one cylinder with outgoing arms for the valve.
