Description
Offered here is a remarkable example of the DKW SB 500, an iconic 500cc two-stroke motorcycle produced in the early 1940s. As one of the flagship models of DKW — then the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer — the SB 500 represented the pinnacle of pre-war German engineering: durable, purposeful, and impeccably crafted.
This model was designed for long-distance touring, favored for its robust construction and simplicity in maintenance. The 500cc two-stroke engine delivers a distinctive riding experience, combining low-end torque with the unmistakable sound and character of early 20th-century motorcycle design.
This particular one? It’s a survivor. With a readable 1830 km on the clock, it’s in exceptional condition. And not just for its age — for any age.
If you know what you’re looking at, you know what this is. Whether for a private collection, a museum display, or discerning riders seeking a truly unique experience, this DKW SB 500 is a piece of motorcycling history not often seen on the market.
A rare opportunity to acquire a machine of such heritage and integrity.
