Typenatlas der DDR-Motorräder und Mopeds
The GDR was a motorcycle country! This illustrated book shows the diversity of its two-wheeled production, from the legendary "Dampfhammer" to the unforgettable Schwalbe. Thanks to the low price and short waiting times, almost everyone rode a moped, motorcycle or scooter.
With authentic photos and competent texts, Peter Böhlke presents the full variety of real socialist two-wheeler production: from the AWO 425, to the RT 125 and SR 1, the complete MZ range and the unforgettable "Schwalbe" from the Simson bird series. Entertaining and highly informative.

The former GDR did not have a one-size-fits-all range of two-wheelers to offer, but rather an extraordinarily wide range of motorcycles. Motorcycles in all classes, with a wide variety of engines and with very different characters. In short: the motorcycles of the GDR are worth being included in a Typenkompass.
As usual, this volume contains brand and model histories with technical data, facts and pictures. Everything you need to know as a lover of these machines that have already become history. And a lot more besides. Not just for those who have driven them themselves, but also for everyone who would like to drive one: The motorcycles of the GDR. For each type covered, this Typenkompass book contains a photo, a historical description and technical data.
