BFG motorcycle with a citroen flat-four is indeed the first motorcycle. Nesselsdorfer 1902
made the first flat four for a car, 5.9 liters.Also, the reasoning written for why flat
fours have disappeared is quite absurd and no doubt made up out of thin air.
To add my own "out of thin air", the engine was too darn good for the flawed inline equivalent
to not create competition was unfair business practice, regardless of the
benefit to people.

I am currently making a website describing the history of this engine as a hobby. nothing
but facts, will reveal its address in due time.
started in 1902....in a place that wasn't even its own country yet. That investigated may be a bizarre change on where porsche/vw actually came from.Stay tuned....
