DDR-Motorräder - seit 1945 (Typenkompass)
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.
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.
