Rusty - Your post is now 2 years old. Just curious...did you ever get the bike together and running? Is there a CZcams video of your bike in action? If so, please post the url in your reply. Would be great to see! =)
some parts might, Brits reversed the blue-prints lots of decent MZs around - friend of mine drove a 250 from Alaska, Patagonia, Maine, never touched the chain, (enclosed, running in grease) one rear tire and one spark plug
Very impressive!!! I have a 1965 165 all restored, not completely original but looks real nice. I'll be sending you pics. by e-mail of it. I am curious to what you think it is worth. Good job on the videos!!!
forget about nostalgia: get an MZ125/150 ETS and RIDE, don’t drool over shotty imitations Germany lost the war, drawings and tooling of the legendary DKW RT125 went tho the victors: BSA got lucky and got Hitler’s plans and started a “school-boy” racing class (with reversed blue-prints) the Bantam HD just copied the blue prints straight (upped the cc’s) - produced pathetic Mummer PIGS they also messed up the Italian connection and sunk that factory HD had to hire Porsche to build a decent bike HD: “Vibration turns on girls” - or so whimps believe...
I can still hear the old 125's, two fellows I went to school with would ride them home northeast of town after track and field practice!
I had a 1958 Hummer in Orlando FL when I was 14. Rode it to Jr High School.
Ride an 04 HD Low Rider now.
Should've kept the old one. The new ones are junk with all the electronic garbage
@@rexjolles Wish I still had the Hummer for sure. But I have NO complaints on either bike.
they only had like, 3 HP. Mine broke piston skirts back in 61-62..still it was my 1rst bike, paid $50 bux
:)
I bought this 49 engine from Travis. Still trying to get the bike to gather tho.

would BSA Bantam parts fit? They were both there same as the DKW
some parts might, Brits reversed the blue-prints
