Note the cool optional side-stand mounted on the end of the swingarm. Title: Re: Miscellaneous Cool East German Motorcycles Post by: Two dogs on June 23, 2015, 02:17:45 AM Cunny funt

My Father-in-law had one of these (yellow) - cool way they enclosed the chain, lasted forever Title: Re: Miscellaneous Cool East German Motorcycles Post by: beethoven on June 23, 2015, 11:29:42 PM (http://git.me/photo/2015/02/03/1160068561120410624/7413716023266869248/mz-ets-250-trophy-sport-1973.jpg)
I am old enough to have owned a brand new 1972 MZ ETS 250. Ive linked a photo of a yellow Trophy Sport. Mine was red naturally and bullet proof. I rode it from Sydney to Cobar regularly as I worked in the copper mine at the time. Bought it from the legendary Tony Hatton who had the dealership. Top speed 65 mph unless you slipstreamed a van on the highway. Had it to 80mph for a short burst before the piston started to sieze. Rapid clutch engagement necessary. Those were the days. |
