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 MZ has been part of an enthusiast private collection of classic bikes spanning the decades from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he can no longer ride and maintain the bikes, so he reluctantly has to let them find new homes. Not run for a number of years they have been carefully stored in a dry building but will all need recommissioning before use. The bike is presented in good original condition and comes fitted with a top box and carrier. Once recommissioned it will make a very useable bike in modern day road conditions that's still appreciating in value. Please note; it comes supplied with a current V5C where confusingly it states the capacity as being 302cc although the bike has all the appearances of an ETZ 250.
