What IS this? The tank/headlight combo is amazing!

Looks like an MZ?? I think they're German. I saw one a little while back but I don't remember where? I kind of liked the way the tank and headlight came together too - has a very period look to it.

It's an early East German MZ 250, later ones had conventional headlight mounted on fork tubes
I worked for a Honda, Yamaha, MZ dealer in the late 70's
Motor was based on the 1960's ISDT winning engines.
Surprisingly good motors after we changed the main bearings on first service, the street 250 would do around 90+mph

I saw this at Barber last year. Nighthawks are relatively inexpensive and pretty bullet proof. I've been tempted to recreate something like this.

maybe its the lack of side covers but as is i dont really care for it... maybe theres some potential but it needs cleaned up

Right on. I'd definitely have to come up with a way to mount the side covers. And some SuperBike bars.

I think it may have actually been a JDM K1, and yes I believe it's stock. I think it's stunning.

I went for a ride up to Cold Springs Tavern on the pass above Santa Barbara today and spotted these among all the Harleys. A Street legal Rickman Triumph Metisse and a pre-unit Triton. Two really nice machines.

Nice, the Metisse is pretty rare without being road registered

heffay · « **Reply #9121 on:** April 08, 2013, 10:24:21 AM »

Had to make a second loop around the park/roundabout to snap a shot of this little beauty. Perfection.
Spotted in Borrego Springs, CA.
