Collectible Vintage Motorcycle – 1950s-1960s Vintage Model

Discover this authentic vintage motorcycle, an MZ ES 250, produced in Zschopau, East Germany (RDA/DDR). Preserved in its original condition with its iconic pastel hue and double suspended brown leather seat, this machine proudly displays its period chrome-winged emblem engraved “mz” on the tank. A rare and sound mechanical piece, it makes for a superb industrial decoration object for a loft or a showroom, but retains its full mechanical potential: it can return to the road after routine maintenance (carburetor overhaul, oil change, spark plug, and brake inspection).
