Pretty impressive one.

I think I saw pictures something very much like that long time ago in german or British bike book. Something like 1980?

That definately disassembles to many little parts and just fits int trunck of the small car.

I'm guessing the wheel covers are to keep out branches etc. That tire must be a lot tougher than an inner tube though or it would puncture pretty fast. I wonder what it is?

This is motorcycle is called the Tarus.  Here's some more information with a link to the manufacturer-to-be's website.

It's a copy of the Rokon, a two-wheel drive motorcycle that has been made in the US for 50 years or so.

The wheels are hollow for buoyancy, and on some models would double as additional fuel tanks for extended endurance away from base. Intended as a tool for farmers, loggers and other rugged outdoors types, it is a real no-frills workhorse. Lots of interesting accessories.
