The Adler MB250 remains one of the most technically interesting quarter-litre motorcycles of the post-war era, admired for its advanced two-stroke engineering and distinctive German styling. Built during the mid-1950s, the MB250 combined innovative design with strong performance, earning Adler a reputation for producing motorcycles that stood apart from their contemporaries
Produced by Adler, the MB250 featured a horizontally split crankcase and an unusually sophisticated engine layout for its class, reflecting the marque’s engineering-led approach. These qualities have ensured lasting interest among collectors and enthusiasts of post-war European motorcycles
This circa 1955 example carries frame #307039 and engine #308404. It has been restored at some point in the past and today remains a smart and honest machine, retaining good overall presentation. The engine kicks over freely and has good compression
The motorcycle is fitted with an HBCO saddle and a Pagusa rear saddle, both desirable period accessories. No paperwork accompanies the machine, and it is not UK registered
An great opportunity to acquire an increasingly rare Adler MB250, offered in attractive restored condition and ideal for recommissioning, display, or further sympathetic refinement
