Motorrad und Zweiradwerk, better known as MZ, was an East German motorcycle manufacturer located in Zschopau, Saxony. 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. MZ introduced the Super Moto-styled Mastiff in 1998, using the Yamaha 660cc single-cylinder engine with 5 valves and liquid cooling in a off-road style frame with long travel forks but with more sporty 17" wheels and low profile tyres. Chassis components were supplied by various respected European companies such as plastic body parts by Acerbis, WP rear shock, Marzocchi front forks and Grimeca brakes.
This 1999 Mastiff has been part of a small private collection for a number of years, unfortunately not run for a few years due to ill health so it will need recommissioning before use. A rare bike, assembled by MZ using a lot of quality components sourced from around the world, it’s only had 2 owners from new and comes supplied with a couple of old MOTs and a V5C.
