Made in Hungary 1932-1956, 1965-1975
It appears that production of Csepel motorcycles ceased in 1956 (the year of the Soviet invasion), and then restarted in 1965 for the production of White motorcycles for export to the United States.
Csepel Davunia History
Good evening, I would like to have more info about this bike that I bought and restored some time ago.
I would like to know how many were manufactured and if they are unique and collectible pieces.
Any information you need please request, such as engine number etc.

Hi,
I made the D-Csepel logo.
When the Csepel Company is stopped, The Danuvia Company made the Csepel motobikes. Before it, the Danuvia was a small arms factory. When the Csepel bikes wasn't enough modern, the danuvia company mede them motobike. It's name was simply Danuvia. It's based on the Csepel bikes. There wasn't too big different.
Bye,
Andrew

csepel balkan 250
1946 csepel balkan 250
i recently purchased a csepel balkan 250cc bike, is any one having any information about this bike then pls contact me
See actually I am planning to purchase that bike but the problem is I knew very little about
this company and model.
I never heard of it so I wanted to know if it is worth purchasing.
It is in bad condition so if I can get any information about it like parts and manual, I will purchase it. And also about its value in the market, its not that I would sell it but just to have an idea of its worth.
Soon I will get its pictures and will also upload them.
Regards

Question about Csepel 125/D
Danuvia / Csepel 125
Hello i am Nico Bakker from the Netherlands and i want to buy a D-Csepel. To get a Dutch license plate i need to proof whats the year of production of the bike. Can you tell me how i can find this out?
the framenumber ends with KV4909
The Netherlands
..........
I found the following numbers on the Csepel:
By the steer on the frame: 1 1 0 3 6 K V 4 9 0 9
On front of the engine (under the cilinder) stays in both enginehalfs: 2 5 7 0 0 1
On the left side in the engine, just under the cilinder: 5 1 1 0 1 2 6
Do you have documentation, so i can proof the year of production here in Holland, or else maybe they say that i replaced the engine so the year of production of the bike can be different...
Thanks for your help!
Greetings, Nico

Hi, I inherited a Csepel bike my father bought from a farmer in Hungary
in the 1990s. It's really old and was just sitting in a barn. No papers,
but I could take a couple of pictures of it. Any ideas of how to sell it?

I have a 1968 White 250 SS (USA Badge). I believe it to be a Pannonia
T9-A, built at the Csepel Motor works in Hungary. I need a few "finishing"
parts. Any leads?

I have read an article with great pictures of a gentleman in British
Columbia Canada, Mr. A. Gyarmati who has refurbished his bike to be an
everyday rider. If he happens into this site I would very much like to
talk to him about his restoration. his bike is the "mate" to mine.

roughly translated by johnny from denmark
Csepel made motorcycles in Hungary from 1951-1975. They were sold under many brand names, including Danuvia, Tunde, Panni, & Pannonia (from a bulletin board entry at the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group CMVG)
Very informative site on Csepel Pannonia motorcycles at www.celtia.hu/pannonia/ 404
MIG Registeret (www.home.no/migreg/norsk/boker.html, 404)
has the following on Csepel:
Csepelek, Pannoniak (£10.00): A Hungarian text book from the publisher of Veteran Auto es Motor, a
monthly Hungarian Old Timer magazine. The 66 pages features the Csepel and Pannonia motorcycles produced
from the 1930s through to the 1970s. Superbly illustrated throughout with 31 colour photographs, plus 78
in black and white.
