MZ
by Mick Walker
This book is the second in the Redline
Books Enthusiast Series. It was born out of the knowledge that MZ owners
and riders are a special band of motorcyclists; certainly on a par with
those of any other marque.
MZ's reputation has been built-up
upon "value for money" for the road rider and success in motorcycle sport;
notably road racing and long distance trials. The magic of MZ was largely
due to the involvement of Dip. Ing. Walter Kaaden, who sadly passed away
on 3rd March 1996, aged 76 years. To Kaaden must go the title of the world's
greatest ever 2-stroke engineer.
Of course, before MZ came DKW, an
equally famous name, and really this book is the story of both these two
great marques from Zschopau in Southern Saxony.
The book also covers Simson and
The new era with the Skorpion.
