finding a Z-98, but I'm feeling a bit like I'm in the "Twilight Zone."...

In the late 50's and early 60's their was a Zundapp complete with side
car and machine gun mounts on display at Dallas Motor Sales. The bike was
supposedly belonged to the great German General Romel (Desert Fox). This
was a very original bike with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears. The shop
owners name was Harold Yaw. I would like to know what happened to this
motorcycle. -- Jerry Liles -- jliles at zalecorp dot com

Have you ever heard of or seen a Zundapp Moped? I have a 1951 that
I inherited from my grandfather and am curious about both its value and
obtaining parts. Any information that you can give me would be appreciated.

I had a '57 Zundapp 200cc Enduro. Also would like pictures or info
on 60's 250cc Super Saber. I had a great time riding a bright red Zundapp
Bella scooter. What a ride. Great memories! I wasn't sure anyone
in U.S. still remembered Zundapp. Great bikes that were ahead of their
time. -- Thanks, Dave Daum -- occchurch at aol dot com

Great idea to bring together so much information.
The KS800 might well be the machine with the greatest displacement from wartime Germany, but it was not the most powerful or popular. The KS600 was more powerful, it also had greater output than the KS750. But raw power isn't everything!
Here are pictures of a friends KS800 and KS600, both are very original and run well.
I am currently restoring a KS750 and I am very happy to correspond with
anyone interested in wartime German bikes, armour and general vehicles.
I can help to find spare parts or complete vehicles.

From Sheldon: David has volunteered
to send information and photos of his KS750 restoration project as it proceeds.
As soon as they start coming I will put up a web page and we can follow
him through with his restoration.
January 19, 2000
From Sheldon to David: How is the restoration project going???
David's reply:
Well its slower than I had hoped for. I have stripped the machine down
and have started to find out what's wrong and what's right. As an
example I discovered that the magneto is the wrong type, and that the frame
has been mig welded. So that means a new mag to be found, and the frame
alignment checking! -- David
Hello! My sister got a Zuendapp 200 S (maybe from 1955) as a present (!) and it is waiting to be get into working order. Even in Germany it is not easy to get spare or information. If anybody is out there who can help her, please e-mail to awi at vossnet.de -- Andreas Wischnack from Berlin
I just replaced my pedal-powered Peugot by purchasing a '73 50cc gold-orange/black Zundapp. The Peugeot had a 'centrifical clutch', meaning there was only one gear- first. So now I need to knoe about things like "how much 80 weight goes in the gearbox?" and "where can I get a speedometer cable?". Any ideas? Anybody with a '73 watercooled 50cc out there who can help me out? ..It would be much appreciated! -- Thanks, -- Scot -- racerx at netdreams dot com

Neat page. Glad somebody finally gave the magnificent V-TWIN the recognition
sooo long deserved on the net. The opposed twins are not like the BMW but
rather have a slight "V" of about 6~7 degrees for ground clearance. But
they look flat and are really kool to ride. I have a 1952 KS601.
Also have a couple of non running 2-strokers awaiting their fate.
What kind of info are you seeking?
You know during the war the KS750 was called the "WAR ELEPHANT" and
after the war, in the early years the KS601 was called the "GREEN ELEPHANT".
I think maybe the green came from the early 50's when lots of European
bikes were coming out in a creamy pea green color. I've seen in original
paint a Zundapp, a Sunbeam, some American car and maybe a Norton.
Again thanks for the site. Trying to send a scan. let me know if you get
it or not.

I just purchased a Rickman-Zundapp 125cc bike. It came with a workshop
manual that covers Moto-Cross, Enduro, Six Days and Police motorcycles.
There is information about the 125cc engine, although not exactly what
I need. The piston on this two-stroke motor has only one piston ring at
the very top of the piston.
I will be needing more info and parts for this engine and transmission.
I would appreciate any info any of your site followers might have.
I would be happy to make copies of workshop manual.

I have a 1955 Zundapp Elastic 250cc. I am in need of a fuel tank, front
fender, headlight lens, and exhaust system. Any information would help.
Thank You -- David Foxx -- roadkill at infinet dot com
A new headlamp lens should be easy to find here in Germany. Exhaust system: bad reproductions are on the market; if you have a rusted original one, it would be better to have it re-chromed. Fuel tanks and front fenders are hard to find, because there are no specialized dealers for these models in business. There aren't even clubs for these models in Germany. An international Zundapp owners club will be founded soon.
I recommend to visit narma.org/zundapp [404] in a couple
of weeks. There you will have a chance to swap parts with other Zundapp
owners. Would like to meet you in the club.

I am a big Zundapp fan, on the picture you can see my KS80 530-50,
from 1981. It has a 93ccm cylinder with the well known 5 gear 314 engine.
