Zündapp was a German motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1917 in Nuremberg by Fritz Neumeyer together with the Friedrich Krupp AG and the machine tool manufacturer Thiel as a producer of detonators. In 1919, as the demand for weapons declined after World War I Neumeyer became the sole proprietor of the company and two years later he diversified into the construction of motorcycles. The companies early tradition of building large capacity motorcycles began in 1933 with the K-series that formed the basis of many military vehicles during World War 2. In the post war years Zundapp concentrated on smaller go to work bikes and scooters but as sales declined the company went bankrupt and closed in 1984.
The KS75 showed typical German heavy duty construction with a good specification but proved to be too expensive to compete with similar sized Japanese bikes in the 1960s, making it a rare model in the UK. This example has been part of an enthusiast private collection and has survived in very original condition including its alloy wheel rims and even its underseat tyre pump. The bike has not been run for a number of years so will need recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C.
