There were four of us who found 250 Super Sabres back in the early seventies. We set them up to enduro and we were known as the Zundapp team in southern Ohio. We weren't very competitive but we had a great time. Glad to see someone is preserving the history of this great bike.

Thanks Fool

I just happened acrossed your site, which is very nostalgic for
me, as I once owned a 250s zundapp in the 60's. I was in my teens and it was my 2nd bike. I was only 15 and didn't have a drivers license, so of course, I rode it all over the country roads without the muffler, which promted quite a few complaints from a wide radius. That in turn promted a freindly visit from the local police deputy, who told me to cool my jets. Fun memory of a fun and pretty quick bike! I think I still have that muffler in my fathers barn.
Thanks stirring up those old memories!

In 1958 I bought a new Zundapp from Bob Schultz Motorcyles on Locust St. in St. Louis, Mo. Since that time I have owned a 1949 Harley Hydra Glide, 1964 Truimp bonneville, 1984 Goldwing and now have a 2007 Harley Sportster. I am 73 yrs old and in reflection the Zundapp was the most fun bike to ride. If I remember right it was a 250cc. When I relate to others about the bikes I have owned, very few have ever heard of a Zundapp.

Hello James, I read the article about you in Hemmings. My first bike was a Zundapp. I bought it in boxes in a neighbor's basement in Taconite Minnesota about 1967. The reason it was apart was that the first gear was missing a tooth and the owner couldn't find the part. I gave the sprocket to my uncle who was a welder and he filled in the space where the tooth should have been and gave it back to me to file out the shape of the tooth. Because the new tooth wasn't hardened it would wear out in about three months and then I would do the job again. I an not sure about the year but I think it was a late fifty's model. The engine was 50CC two stroke and the rear portion of the frame was cast aluminum with a curved pipe going from the casting to the triple tree. The tires were wide for a bike this size so I could ride it on the snowmobile trails. I had it for about three years but I will never forget it. This bike gave my my first taste of freedom. I rode it from age 13 to age 16. Things I remember about it were the enclosed chain, the huge speedometer, the decoration on both sides that looked like a comet's tail, there was no battery so the electricals worked off the magneto so as you revved the engine the lights got brighter and the horn got louder. Thanks for having this website.

In 1957 I owned a DB 255 Zundapp. It was my first motorcycle. I had the bike before I had a drivers license. It was a 1955 and I must say a pretty neat machine for 15 year old kid. My goal at that time was to get a Zundapp twin. Unfortunately I never did. Instead, I bought a car to haul girls around in. That was the end of my motorcycle days.

After more than 40 years without a motorcycle I bought a new Harley Electro Glide Classic in 2001 which I'm still riding today.

Hi. I have really enjoyed your site and have a few questions about some of the parts in your boneyard. Just purchased a 1932 Zundapp 200 and it is missing the footpeg rubbers. Are the rubbers you have for sale similar to the original (1932) or a newer year? I can't seem to find a good enough picture of the originals to see them very clearly. I am also interested in the NOS Generator Cover (01). Can you give me a shipping price to zip code 84107 for the cover and for the foot peg rubbers, both rider (2) and passenger pegs/kick starter (3). Thank you very much for your time. -Pat

Hi there. I just stumbled accross your website and it's great. I wish I knew about it when I had my old Zundapp- I think it was a db202? Two stroke, plunger rear, tele. front vertical cyclinder. Anyways, it's gone but I have a chance to buy another Zundapp from a buddy. Not sure what model. He says it's a 1958 Zundapp 750 and he wants $800- I think it's a 250 though. It runs but it's been a while since it has been ridden. What is the value of such a bike? I have lots of Triumph and BSA bikes that are easy to price, but I have no idea what this thing is worth. Are all the important parts still available? (pistons, gaskets, seals, carb kits) Any advice is appreciated- I'm still trying to decide whether to add this one to the collection or not. Thanks is advance and here's a few pix of it. Pete

IT SEEMS YOU MIGHT THE ZUNDAPP OWNER THAT MIGHT BE
ABLE TO HELP ME.
I WILL BEGIN THE RESTORATION OF A ZUNDAPP 1953 AND
SINCE I DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE AS TO THE BEST PLACES
TO BUY SPARES PARTS.MOST OF SITES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
ACCESS ARE IN GERMAN,WHICH IS NOT MY LANGUAGE.
I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

Hi,
Loved all you your stuff about Zündapp motorcycles. My first reliable motorcycle back in '56 was a Zündapp 200S bought new. I was only 17 at the time but rode it all over Switzerland that year and enjoyed every bit of it.
Often pine for a Zündapp as I have always admired their engineering. Have owned and ridden Harleys since late 50's and still own a Dou Glide I bought new in 1960.
Will enjoy you site now I have found it.
Best Wishes

Very interesting site that is well done and with current information. I enjoy old motorcycles (1950's and earlier) especially those of German origin because of my past and heritage. I have an interest in buying (or trading) for a Zundapp or other German motorcycle of 250cc or larger. I am also looking for a Horex Resident motor complete. Thank you for investing the time and money to provide such a wonderful site!

Had a ss250 in the late 50s and early 60s while in HS. Great little machine. I also had a friend that had an opposed Zundapp twin with a distictive anti-dive front susspension. When you braked the front wheel the front of the bike actually rose as opposed to dive. Anyone have any idea what this opposed twin would have been called? Does anyone have any idea if either of these types of bikes can be purchased in NA?

hi there james ,first off i would like to say that ive enjoyed viewing your site on these incredable motorcycles and the work that you have done to them ,youve done an incredable job . just a few years ago my parents who are from germany and moved to canada we were going through some old photos of my mothers father in the war and she stumbled across a photo of him on a army issue zundapp motorcycle ,possibly 1941 in denmark at a recovery center from the russian front and i thought that the motorcycle was pretty neat looking and was trying to find some history on the type of bike it was especially the way the motor is designed etc . my father also remembers going to the stadium races that they held in germany with the zundapp motorcycles he said it was amazing to watch . anyways to make a long story short ,i myself am an avid motorcycle rider of a harley davidson sportster which i enjoy very much and my question to you is do you know of any zundapp motorcycles in need of restoratoin forsale in canada or in the pacific northwest ,example bellingham washington area ? for i feel it would be a nice goal for myself to restore one of these bikes to ride and take to special events . have a nice day and hopefully hear from you soon sincerly michael .

Howdy James...You might wish to put this on your photo section. This is
#554724, a 1954 sport, with standard type wheels mounted, originally
rot wine, with the currently available substitute (as far as I know) for
the original now NLA oversize Pagusa seat rubber. I'm finally "dialing
in" this motorcycle after many years of ownership. The more one works on
KS601 Zundapp, the more one appreciates the quality of the design. The
BMW's may be prettier, but the Zundapps have all the
engineering!!!...Regards, Stephen Ascherl / Michigan

Hi. I have a friend, Vin who has 5 Zundapps. Vin had the best collection I have ever seen, including an immaculate K-800. Sadly about 10 years ago the whole lot went up in a workshop fire. He has spent the time since raising his KS-750 from the ashes. His K-800 was featured in the book "The Golden Age of the Fours". Vin is getting on and is not internet savvy, so I thought I better put in a word for him on this site. Zundapp Uber Alles in aller Welt!

My first real dirt bike was a 1968 ISDT 100 cc Zundapp. Sometime after ward my brother got a 1952 flat twin that he was supposed to restore. He never did, gave it back to the owner who was rumored to have sold the papers and numbers to an outlaww to register a stolen bike, and scrapped the Zundapp. (SAD I know) I had the tool box for years but it finally disappeared. Love your story. Let me know if you decide to pass on another Zundapp purchase.

Hi James, I am glad to know that someone is indulging their "just gotta have". I grew up in Dallas in the fifties when you could see Zundapps, BMWs,and just about every other make of bike you could think of on a daily basis. Later, after having lived in Fredericksburg I owned 175cc Street CZ. The absolute best bike I ever had, including the BMW r65. Unfortunately, CZ motorcycles seem to have gone the way of the DODO. Keep up the good work. Orman

I have a1957 Zundapp 250cc Super Sabre in my garage that has been sitting for over 25 years. It's in good shape,but the engine is out and partially apart. The jug is off and parts of the clutch are likely missing--maybe not.The seat and fenders,gas tank, speedometer and such are great. Key is in the headlight slot.Wheels and tires are good. Should I try to restore the bike or sell it? My time is limited and I would love to see the bike back on the street. As I look thru the emails I see that parts are very expensive and apparently hard to find. With that in mind, should I part it out and possible get more money and at the same time help a lot of people with their projects. Email me back and tell me your thoughts. Thanks, Ron

Anyone looking to sell a good generator from a 250 Super Sabre should send me an e-mail...I've been looking for a long time and really could use one. My bike came over to the U.S. with my father when he came home from the Army. He was stationed in Nuremburg and bought the bike there in 1963, the last year they were made. It's a complete bike, but the generator is burned up and I have no idea how to repair it. Good site, BTW! Lots of cool pictures and a great resource for Zundapp owners. I've been to this site nearly every day for the last few weeks, and it's in my favorites list now :)

I had a 1957 Zundapp 250 when I was in high school from 1957 to 1961. My brother and I used to ride with some Triumph and Harley riders all over the east coast going to races on the weekends. I lived in Lansdale, Pa and we would go to Marboro, Maryland, Laconia,Nh, Watkins Glenn and any where they were racing bikes that weekend and I could get off my part time job. I bought used in 1957 from private party when he suffered a broken leg in a work accident. I paid $375 for it and then I sold my Cushman scooter for $150. It was a real reliable bike and only let me down once on a trip when the battery went south and I had to wait unti morning to resume my trip home (no lights). When I went to college I sold it to my brother and he used it for a couple of years until he went in the Navy. I wish I had kept it. It was a neat bike. My father used to take it out on Sunday morning and go for a little ride and when he would get back he would say "I cleaned it out for you". Len Musgrave A fellow lover of the Zundapp

I have never owned a Zundapp but can remember first seeing one while in Junior High (1960-1963) here in Chattanooga. At that time I owned a Mustang (pony model if I remember right) and there was quite a mixture of assorted motorcycles and mopeds around...Harley Hummers, NSU as well as Sears Allstate cycles, a few assorted Triumphs and a few brand new Hondas (sport50's and a 250 Dream) but can to this day still hear the sound those Zundapp's made as the left the parking lot. I had a friend that had a small motorcycle called a "J B" single cylinder..3 speed transmission that shifted on the left handlebar (like a moped or scooter). Can anyone tell me any information about the JB motorcycle? We ran a paper route on the weekend and used his motorcycle simply because it had a double seat as opposed to my single seat Mustang. Thanks and "keep um running"

Hello all, 2 questions. I have a 1959 Bella Zundapp and I am looking for a replacement key (other than a nail). Help! DomiRacer doesn't have this key. They key pictured on their site is not the one. Also, does anyone know where I can get a 12 volt conversion done? - Or at least get the parts for such, to take to my local scooter shop.

I have a handlebar mounted (1inch bars) watch about the size of a pocket watch with a fairly fancy mounting. It is a windup model in working condition. It is marked COMFORT made in West Germany. I was wondering if this could have been an accesory for the Comfort model ZUNDAPP.Any info will be helpful

I have a 1958 Zundapp. It has been in storage for over 20 years. I feel the condition is good. I need to sell the bike but I can't find much information regarding a potential value. If I sent a few pictures, do you think you could help me with information about the bike? Thanks for your consideration!

My father was in three major *campaigns in Italy (1944-45)WWII with the 362 Regimental Combat Team, 91st Infantry Div. *Rome-Arno, *Apennines, *Po Valley Their last campaign was an assault down through the Po estuary (North Italy) forcing the Germans across the Po river. They literally swam across leaving tons of equipment on it's S. bank. He always wished he could of sent home a Zundapp or two or tewnty. He and a fellow soldier used one to lay commo wire making the task much easier. He was always impressed with German engineering and design such as the Zundapp. Thank you father. Rest in peace.

When I was much younger I knew a contemporary who owned a brand-spanking-new Zundapp 250. I always envied him for owning that bike. In the 1960's I found a kid who owned an old Zundapp 250 which was (no kidding) in cardboard boxes; even the spokes were taken out of the rims! I bought the thing for $25 and eventually put it back together. I rode it for many years and eventually sold it to someone else. I still miss that thing sometimes! Thanks for sharing ... Jim

i lived in dallas tx all of my 69 years and there used to be a indian dealership that carried zundapp ,indians,mustangs and some that i have forgoten (it was across the street from a harley house). about in the 1950's they had a zundapp that had a side car with with the side car driven also,(i beleive that it was shaft driven) the story was that it belonged to the german general rommell and the tires were to leave tracks like a tank in the sand. the color was red or deep maroon.had hydraulic brakes on the side car as well as the front and rear. i was wondering if you have ever seen this motorcycle or do you think that it even exists any more? ron

I have a 1953 Zundapp Comfort that my dad owned and hasn't been touched since 1965. Any idea about whether it should be restored or sold as is? It is in ok condition, but I have no idea if it is worth putting any time/money into it. Any imput would be appreciated. ben

[Guess that really depends on your mind set and attitude Ben. If you love the challenge and like working on stuff then it will be great fun. Two entries down from yours is Joann out in Phoenix. She just sold her '53 Comfort for $3500.00 on Ebay which she claims allowed her to just break even. Why not drop her an email and see what she can tell you about restoring a 1953 Comfort. Hers was beautiful though not quite correct. As for what it is worth, depends on what it looks like to both you and any prospective buyers and whether it will start and run or not. There aren't a lot of the little old Zuendapps around anymore and they are always a hit at shows, parades, and events because of their uniqueness. Let me know down the line what you did with it. Tried to send this as email, but you've put blocks on all incoming is would seem. Good night,

As a teenage kid growing up in the 70's in Oxnard CA, I traded a fellow classmates dad a 1/4 midget go-cart for a rusty old Zundapp 250S that he had sitting out back of his house. He wasn't mechanically inclined....and I loved to tinker with this old oddball stuff. (I also found a Ducati 200 dirt bike about the same time...another story). I got that old Zundapp running and played with it for sometime. Never registered it....just road it about at night. I remember the huge fenders and the huge fins on the head. It never sounded very good because it had a cracked piston skirt. Eventually part of the skirt came off and tore up the lower end. I still have the owners manual kicking around here somewhere...along with the Ducati and some very old Honda's....I never get rid of any documentation like that. .....I remember that Zundapp was the most unusual bike I had ever seen....and I had wished I could have kept it on the road. But I was a broke teenager. I loved reading your stories here....Thanks, brought back many memories of my days with a Zundapp....and that big old head and barrel that must have weighed in at 50 pounds.

Interesting site. I owned a 1951 Zundapp KS601 years ago. Bought it for $25.00 from the local Harley shop in Washington D.C. It was rotting away in the their trash pile, and they were happy to see it go. It was probably the best motorcycle on the premises, unbeknownst to them. This was around 1966.I got it going pretty quick, and rode it around for several years before selling it to a friend who took it to a mountain top in New Hampshire. I wonder what ever became of it?

The BD 200 data are: Motor Nr. 240743, Fahrgest Nr. 240743, Gwicht 115, Ps 7, Huvoi 196 cm3, Hub u. Bohrg 70 x 60. I would like to know: 1.- The year the BD 200 was made. 2.- Where can I obtain the spare parts & maintenance cataloges. 3.- Where can I get the spare parts I may need.

After reading your story I realized that I'm not the only Zundapp nut, the reason I say this is your story is very similiar to mine. When I was a kid I had a 1954 Bella, this was in 1958 at the time I was 12 years old. When I first seen the 601's I thought that this was the most beautiful motorcycle I had ever seen. When I was 13 I found a 601 for sale for $375. My dad and I looked at it and he said that it was too big for me and wouldn't let me buy it. I rode my Bella for 3 years throwing a Houston Chronicle paper route never forgetting the 601. All these years the desire has always been in my head and my heart to own a 601. I have looked many years and not found one. After reading your story I would like to know if you could help another Zundapp fool complete his dream. Any help you can give me or lead me to one will be gratefully appreciated. Another fool Carl Scroggins Houston,TX 281-442-7672 Thanks a lot!!!

Had a 250SS while in HS in the late 50's early 60's. Have located a 250SS unit that is like new, less than 1K miles on the odometer. Never been outside except to ride a little. What should I offer on this bike? I saw it a few years ago and believe me it is like new, except for the rubber parts show most of the effects of 50-60 years of age. Your comments would be appreciated. Also does the K800 have 4 cylinders? Thanks for your consideration.

I have been a "fool" since the late sixties when I bought my KS601 for $300 from Charles Chatfield Taylor, the Vincent collector, who had no more use for "Teutonic" motorcycles. I patched it together while I was in college and rode it a little but have always planned a real restoration. Looking forward to perusing your site. I have a small pile of parts that came with the motorcycle including a parts bike and a Bella, complete but rough. Paul

Hello, I own a ks601, my late father made molds for most of the rubber parts on the Zundapp foot pegs, kick start, just to name a few. If you have any questions or comments email me Thank You.

Hello, I am looking for a rear-end and swing arm for a KS601EL (not plunger type). I bought it a few years ago with a BMW rear-end that someone cobbled in. I would like to make it original, but know it will be difficult. Thanks, -joaquin-

I have a 1957 blue Zundapp Citation that I would like to sell, but I am unsure how to price it. Any advise? Considering its age, it is in fairly good shape and it runs.

Hey James, I sent you three emails. Did you get them? Microsoft changed their Hotmail set-up and there is no written indication if the email went through! I have to ask Holger if I can fix it so I know my emails went through or not. Also, be sure to email your phone number so I have it. I hope you got my questions. Many thanks, John

I have 1952 Zundapp with telescoping front fork, plunger rear shocks, and dual exhausts on 200 cc cylinder. Would like to know what model it is, and am seeking mufflers, rubber tank or thigh pads, air filter box for Bing Carb, etc. Can any one help me with this??

Hi, remember me? Holger's friend and neighbor. Bought two BMWs since we last communicated. I want to sell the '66 R69S which is complete with title but needs to be restored. Was from California originally. Do you still have the Blue SP? Holger likes the bike for me. Holger picked up another Zundapp project bike.( We had to use my van to pick it up.) When you get a moment give me a buzz. Many thanks, John

I have owned a lot of different bikes in my life. I ride a Harley now. But I find the art deco look of the older Zundapps very appealing. I love your K800. Is there a particular place you suggest to look for Zundapps if someone is market to buy? ( I could be a Zundapp fool in the making) Thanks.

seems a lot harder for you to keep your Zundapps running as it is for me right here in Germany. I got my KS 601sp from my father who bought this motorcycle in 1954. I did a complete restoration 1990 - 1991 and had lot of trouble afterwards, especially with the oil pressure. Right now the 601 is in a very good shape and hopefully this may be the case for a longer period. As you probably may know there is a Zundapp KS 601 Club in Germany and this a real fortune for all members like me because they can get help and spare parts. Without this support I probably would have a lot of trouble to keep the 601 alive. If you need assistance especially concerning addresses in Germany feel free to contact me.

Hi James feel free to give my email address to anyone, especially the k800 owners. I don't have any spares right now, but will be happy to keep them informed on any that turn up and would be happy to take pics of any part of my bike for reference if they need it. [I'll also give you first refusal on any spares since you have been so great to the Zundapp community with free info and advice] Didn't make it to Daytona this year, too many things to do and too little time [i know you know what i mean! lol] Maybe I'll catch you next year with the Beemer guys, unless you round up enough zdappers to make a meet out of it there.

James, thanks for your answer, last night seeing your web site I finally discovered the model of my bikes both are ZUNDAPP TROPHY 250 S. Apparently they are en better shape than most of the bikes I saw in the website, so that makes me thing the restoration is possible. I’ll take them photos and send them to you. These bikes are very important to me because they are the only thing a have from my grandfather after he died, so my idea is make of those bikes a “TROPHY” in his memory. If you could send me some photos o this specific model it’ll be great. Thank you, I’ll be in touch…

Dear Zundapp fool, My father bought a manual from EBAY for his citation. When we got the CD he realized he copied the manual from your web site, and actually used my dads bike as the cover for the CD (which also came from your web site). The person who gave you the right to use the manuals was very generous, and the manuals have greatly helped my dad work on his bike. I just don't want to see this guy continue to make money off the generosity of the Zundapp people on the website. There is currently one listed on EBAY.com and in the description it states that it is a CD. Sorry I had to notify you on this, but I don't want to see your web-site exploited. Grant Rivard

Hi James, It's been a while since I have written, but I have been checkin' from time to time. the site is looking great. I was looking at my 601EL with a friend today, and we got talking about the side car mounts, and a good side car for the bike. He remembered that he had seen Steibs on them, and commented on how the hack even had a 601 wheel on it. Well one thing led to another, and I thought I would check around to see if you might have, or know the where-bouts of a 601-EL wheel or hub. I did not see one in the Bone Yard, but thought I would ask anyway. Let me know, if you have a moment, please. Not to much else going on. I get an occasional ride in on the EL, (not enough), and keep busy with the others too. My KS 750 made the move from Memphis to Orlando, and is looking good at the new venue, (the Orlando Museum of Art) With "The Art of the Motorcycle. Hope you get to see it there. I'm looking forward to getting it back, so I can get it out to the meets. Well all the best, and I'll close for now. Hope to hear how things are going, and if you might know anything about a wheel for a hack. Thanks and great riding, Jack Wells

My first Zundapp was a 150cc Zundapp Suburbanette scooter. I bought from some friends who were well enough off that mom would buy the kids a new one whenever the old one broke. So when the Suburbanette quit they pushed it into the garage and bought a new one. I bought it with a couple of months of lawn mowing money. I was 13. That was 1956. It didn't run and I spent quite a bit of time getting it going. I found out that when those kids break something they do it good! I can't remember how long I had it but I did enjoy it. It was a quality machine and it had a very distinctive, unique sound to the engine that I found interesting. We can fast forward through about 20 motorcycles. Then in the 80's I got my next Zundapp. It was a Bella R203 scooter. A gift from my wife. She knew I had one many years before, heard me speak lovingly about it, so when one came up she bought it and gave it to me as a Christmas gift. More later.

Does anyone have any idea how many Zundapps' were imported into the U.S.? I am truly amazed at how many of these machines are still in existence! I've been a Zundappfool for over forty years. It's good to know I'm not alone. My first was a 250 Super Sabre. That was a real man's machine. Anyone who could compete in an ISDT on one of those had to have big, big ones! Next came two Bella scooters. Not at the same time, but after I got rid of the first one, I realized my addiction was stronger than I had realized, and found another. Had it for many years. I can't exactly remember why I parted company with it, but I have reason to believe there was a woman involved some way or another. It takes a woman to bring out the fool in a man. I'm currently the owner of a 1974 KS50 WC. If anyone out there has one please drop me a line as I'm interested in touching base with you. My wife insists I'm out of my mind for taking that thing out on the interstate. What do you think?

Real nice work, nice site, and good investment. Keep up the good work, and keep those Texas Highways hot with Zundapps. I hope to find a twin 500 someday. God Bless.

My father worked on a zundapp and finally got it running and I tell you it was the happiest day of his life...I think. This took place 30 years ago and I have been looking for a Zundapp ever since. Any info would be much appreciated.

Great little web site. I'm a DKW fan, but find it difficult to find bikes here in North America. I received a note from a vintage biker who saw my ad looking for DKW's. He tells me that he has a friend that has a Zundapp, since I like German bikes! So the madness continues! I'll drop you a line if I buy the bike! Mike

Hi James, been a time since looking at the site, you have been busy. Makes interesting reading some of the guestbook comments. I have got nearly all the bits i need for my 601 restoration so will be starting soon. Went to the Mannheim autojumble in October met up with Bernhard Wolfgang and his wife, nice guy. He had on show his own 601, absolute top notch, perfect. Will send picture of it for the gallery soon. also Motorrad Stemler have now in stock a batch of exhaust pipes ready. Safe riding Bernie.

Back in 1963 at age 17, I was the proud owner of a 1953 Zundapp. What a wonderful machine. Sold it when I started college and still regret that.

Best regards from a Danish Zundapp fool. You can take a look on my home side www.poulsen.biz this summer I got my dream bike, Ks 601 Elastic from 1957. This bike is my winter project 2005. The bike have run total 13400 miles. If you are interested I can mail you some fotos. Nice to see your good looking bikes. Thorkild NB. the elastic have still the first type drive shaft with the elastic disc with Vulkollan. I think it will be necessary to modify the shaft. Do you have experience with this shaft??? The elastic is the only one in Denmark/Scandinavia

Have a 1937/38 250SU, missing carb, seat and headlight. All the rest is intact. Needs restoration, but is actually in pretty good condition. It is a Fahrzengty (?) 250 SU. Am looking to part with it; a deceased collector gave it to me, as he was going to restore it, but had other bikes in the works. It has been in my barn for quite a few years. I have other bikes and would like it to go to a good home. for quite a few years. I have other bikes, and would hope to get it to a good home.

You have some beautiful bikes. I have been considering a pre-war BMW, but the price is restrictive as I would like something above the 500cc mark. The lines of the Zundapp are close and I may consider looking for bikes such as yours. If you ever hear of a good deal that you are not interested in, or want to sell one of your bikes, please let me know. Regards, ZK

I just talk to my friend Holger who bought the KS 601 EL. He mentioned that you had an earlier 601 for a cheaper price than your EL. Can you send me some pictures and some information on the bike. Holger said the bike runs and sounds complete. Is this a European model? Any info would be most appreciated as Holger is trying to get me into a Zundapp or R69 BMW or something along those lines. Many thanks, John. I previously email you but your EL was too pricey for me.

Purchased today 175s and a 250 both in need of parts and a shot-blast and powder coater luckily I have a friend in the powder coat trade. Found your site very helpful with parts plates pictures so good to identify the models would like to know the correct colors though as the 175 is painted in what looks like army colors!!
