1987 MZ TS125, 125cc. Registration number D480 LNW. Frame number 8860160. Engine number 7502648.
The East German MZ (Motorradwerk Zschopau) was made at the pre-war DKW factory, its early models based, like BSA’s Bantam, on DKW’s RT 125 single. As the concern grew under engineer Walter Kaaden, its reputation for both winning races and building race-bred road bikes rapidly grew, the TS series earning the respect of serious riders. The marque established its reputation with the British motorcycling public as the purveyor of reliable if somewhat unexciting commuter machines, the East German concern had been in the forefront of high-performance two-stroke development in the post-war years. The racing team achieved some notable triumphs against the might of Japanese opposition in the 1960s and although its Grand Prix effort eventually faded, the firm produced many highly successful ISDT machines in the 1970s.
LNW was owned by Peter Greenwood of Leeds from 1987 until 1990 when ownership transferred to Craig Wall, again of Leeds. It was last taxed in 1992.
Off the road since our vendor has lightly recommissioned the machine and it is a runner. The odometer records 9,139 miles, MOT's on file record 7,699 in 1991 and 9,005 in 1992. A new battery was put on it in 2016.
Sold with the V5 (it is recorded with DVLA) and the two MOT's.
