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, an ETZ 250 with disc front brake and 12v electrics.

This 1985 250, part of a deceased estate and being offered at 'no reserve', is the later ETZ model. Used by its enthusiast owner as part of a collection of European bikes, it has been stood for a number of years but the engine turns over on the kickstart and it seems to be complete and original. The bike comes supplied with an owner’s manual, some old MOTs and a V5C.
