That's an "ase" or "ace", really old bike. remember reading about it in cycle word a couple years back. No idea on the model name...dammit...
I think it was one of the first four cylinder bikes ever developed, I thought it was american but Im not sure.

It will probably be easy. It's a change of pace from the old ass bikes that require google. (I found the exact picture he used.)

This is probably the most innovative motorcycle of all time, guy who developed it was a complete genius. From 1923 Germany, engine is housed in the front wheel, five cylinder radial design, the front axle was also the crank..which stayed stationary while the cylinders moved AROUND with the wheel. The wheel turned around six times slower than the crankshaft did and it had no gears or transmission. Starting it did require push starting or hand rotating the front wheel on it's stand.
No googling you freakin retards, this one will go to some other complete nerd like me who browses the web memorizing odd old motorcycle designs. I masterfully mspainted out the makers name from the frame. If you don't mind getting dq'd take a look at these two page of unique old motorcycles. Tons of great, weird old bikes. pics from an antique motorcycle show in germany interesting bike gallery
