sausage-shape rather than a complete doughnut-like torus shape, so that it could be changed without removing the wheel and engine. At the time, this type of tube was produced commercially so it was likely not created specially for the Megola. The box-section frame contained the main fuel tank which fed by gravity a smaller tank mounted on the axle. The front suspension consisted of semi-elliptical springs. Legacy During less than five years of production, approximately 2000 machines were built and sold. Around 15 examples remain; one was displayed at the Guggenheim Museum 'Art of the Motorcycle' exhibition in New York City. An example of a sport version of the Megola is part of the automotive collection of Jay Leno. Around eight replica Megolas have been built between the 1980s and the present day. A replica, fitted with an original engine, was sold by Bonhams auction house in London in 2016 for £82,140. Killinger and Freund In 1935, there was an attempt by a group of engineers to make an improved version, the Killinger and Freund Motorcycle, but World War II put an end to their plans.
