Motorrad und Zweiradwerk was an East German motorcycle manufacturer located in Zschopau, Saxony better known as MZ. Established early in the last century and at the forefront of two stroke development in the 1950s, by the communist era they typified solid reliable Iron Curtain transport. After the fall of the Berlin Wall MZ continued to produce bikes, very often using bought in engines and components from around the world. Between 1991 and 1996 MZ manufactured the Saxon 500 R series of motorcycles, based on the chassis of the MZ ETZ 251/301 but using a 500cc four-stroke engine from Rotax.
This Saxon 500R, being offered at no reserve, was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure took everything home and mothballed them in his barn. Although probably manufactured in the early 1990s it was first registered in 2004 on an 04 plate and the speedo only reads 60 miles so it obviously didn’t see much use before being stored away for a number of years. The bike comes supplied with a current V5C.
