who remember the MZ

Saw one of these today.MZ 1000s,
I have never seen one before and it got alot of attention at Weston Bike Night.
Any thoughts?

i think i like it in a strange kind of way

Apart from the (gag!) parallel twin engine, and the sub-comstar wheels its got a lot of cool design.... unfortunately from 10yr ago, when the original/radical design 1st got seen! The pre-production bikes were finished to a high standard. A shame, think it took too long to put into production and get a reasonable dealer network together.

Never seen one on the road.

Are MZ still on the go?

I have a mz saxon tour 301 2 stroke as well as my sv.

Its like a curvey and a pointy had sex and thats the result, kinda like it a strange sort of way.

Looks intriguing, the front is a bit different eh...

And I've never seen the chain on that side of the bike, perhaps I'm just ignorant

Also I had to laugh at this http://www.mz1000s.de/cgi-bin/click....id=c&siteid=44

Does anyone remember the Ural 650 which came from Russia with the sidecar already fitted. The problem was it was on the wrong side for the UK, quite a scary prospect for the person in the chair as the rider edged out to see if the road was clear

My old English teacher had an MZ almost 40 years ago, it was wierd, the headlight was fixed and didnt turn with the bars. mind you we thought he was a wierd beard then, now he is probably cool or dead

I has a MZ125ETZ years ago , which the engine seized and locked the back wheel & had me off .
