Simson Schwalbe - Die Reparaturanleitung: Ersatzteile, Rechnik, Wartung
Simson achieved its current fame through the two-wheelers it produced in large numbers in the GDR. With almost 6 million motorcycles produced, Simson is still the largest two-wheeler manufacturer in Germany.
The Schwalbe model is synonymous with two-wheeled travel in the former GDR. Simson once built more than 1.6 million S 51s, over a million Schwalbes, over 700 000 SR 4 models from the Vogel series and more than half a million S 50s in Suhl.
