• NSU 250 race bike based on a mid 50s Supermax
• Alloy wheel rims, mudguards and bespoke fuel tank
• Amal racing carb' and a matching remote float chamber

The first NSU motorcycle appeared in 1901 followed by the first NSU car in 1905. WWII left NSU’s factories completely destroyed, but they resumed production of their pre-war models in 1946 and introduced the MAX in 1953. The Max had some very innovative features including a monocoque frame made from pressed steel which was later inherited by the Supermax. By 1955 NSU had become the largest motorcycle producer in the world.

Part of a deceased estate, unfortunately not much is known about the history of this bike. It appears to be based on a mid 1950s road-going 250 Supermax with its twin shock rear suspension, a popular conversion in its day due to the quality of the basic bike. This one has alloy rims, alloy mudguards, a single seat, a neat little Smiths tachometer and a bespoke alloy fuel tank. All other unnecessary chassis items have been removed to save weight and the engine has an Amal racing carb fitted with a matching remote float chamber. A great starting point for a classic race bike.
