Maybe it's worth a try:

: Over at Indygear.com, the sidecar motorcycle in Last Crusade is listed as a Mercedes. Since Mercedes-Benz never built any motorcycles, that's gotta be wrong. The official supplier of bikes to the German Army in 1938 was BMW. The only problem is, the bike in the film doesn't look like either of the bikes used by the Wehrmacht (the BMW R12 and R75) before or during the war. If there are any old bike enthusiasts out there who can shed some light on the mystery of the motorcycle, let me know!

I have seen a bike that looks very similar: A 1938 German-styled sidecar cruiser. Check out the 'VSC Black Horse Sidecar Cruiser' at http://www.sidecarcruisers.com/models.html
I know next to nothing about motorcycles, but to me that bike looks very similar to the one Indy rides in LC! Hope that helps... Fall Guy
