I always loved those cuboid barrels. They sort of looked as though they cast them en masse, in many metre long lengths , and just chopped them off, like cutting steaks off a fillet. Ah, East European bikes, I miss my Jawa. (No, actually , I dont. Though it WAS awesomely noisy)

I came across this photo of a MZ 250RS -- thought, cripes, that looks quite a bit like my CB250RS. Even the fairing looks like the standard CB250RSZ fairing. Same tank-into-seat-into-sidecovers look -- although that was a common Honda look of the time. It's got a stroker instead of my OHC mill, and I don't have as quite cute butt as the rider of this machine.
D'ye think it was a rip-off? Even the name is the same, after all.

Seeing as the Japanese motorcycle industry was kick started with Eastern European technology,I think a little bit of blatant theft is well in order....

Well Suzuki was anyway (gooo Ernst Degner!) which explains the build quality thing.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Forum whore
I think the others inherited their two smoker tech from Degner via Suzuki. Though I was never sure about Bridgestone and Kawasaki, with their rotary valves. I dont think rotary valves were an East German thing (though I could be wrong) . If not, was the rotary valve two stroke a true Japanese dead end evolutionary tree?

The first Yamaha was a DKW clone,like the Bantam.Rotary valves were very much an MZ thing I think - the rotary valve square four Suzuki's were blatant copies,although the MZ was a twin..

We have a kitten named Kaaden, short for Walter Kaaden of MZ. Ground breaking technology of the time.
Their roadbikes are about as desirable as a Skoda though.
Kawasaki first got their disc valve technology from a Japanese company they bought, though there was suspicion that later tech was procured from Bridgestone.
The Bridgestone 350GTR is on my list of most desirable classics. Pity they stopped making bikes, but that’s monopolys & politics for you.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

at a buy now of $1400 it seems cheap enough.
I really liked those MZ Skorpion singles that were around a few years ago.
