Dont knock,em MZ with Walter Kaarden, built some of the finest stinkwheels ever,

in fact Ernst Degner defected to Suzuki in the early/mid sixties with all his secrets, and the Suzuki two stroke empire was built, the rest as they say, is history.
I was considering a new MZ 1000 but no dealer/ spares back up put me off. Sounds stangley familiar ?

. Some guy did a round Europe trip on one and filmed it for one of the low budget sky channels, evidently loved the MZ.
