  • Authentically presented and original MZ 250 Supa 5
  • Solidly built example of this East German classic
  • Supplied with a current V5C

Motorrad und Zweiradwerk was an East German motorcycle manufacturer located in Zschopau, Saxony better known as MZ. Established early in the last century they were at the forefront of two-stroke development in the 1950s with their renowned engineer Walter Kaaden developing concepts copied by the Japanese in later years. His understanding of gas flow and resonance enabled him to make the first engine to achieve 200bhp/litre with his 1961 125cc racer. During the communist era they typified solid reliable Iron Curtain transport and by 1983 the two millionth motorcycle had rolled off the conveyor belt. Not many have survived in original condition in the UK.

This standard and original 250 Supa 5, part of a deceased estate and being offered at 'no reserve', was bought by the vendor in 2007 and has not seen much use since. Not run for many years, the points cover is loose and it looks like some attention was being given to the points area in recent times so some recommissioning will be needed. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
