Collectors’ Vintage Motorbike – Vintage Model from the 1950s–1960s

Discover this authentic vintage MZ ES 250 motorbike, manufactured in Zschopau in East Germany (GDR). Preserved in its original condition with its iconic pastel colour and brown leather double suspension seat, this machine proudly displays its vintage chrome winged emblem engraved with ‘mz’ on the fuel tank. A rare and sound piece of machinery, it makes a superb piece of industrial décor for a loft or showroom, whilst retaining its full mechanical potential: it can be roadworthy again following routine maintenance (carburettor service, oil change, spark plug replacement and brake check).
