EMW und AWO - Die Viertaktmodelle der DDR (Schrader Typen Chronik)

In 1928, BMW took over the Eisenach Motorenwerke and also built motorcycles there. After the war, one of them, the R35, continued to be built there as the EMW until 1955.
The AWO 425, the second four-stroke motorcycle produced in the GDR, had been rolling off the production line in Suhl, Thuringia, since 1950, and production ended in 1960. After that, the State Council decided to stop the production of four-stroke motorcycles in the former GDR.

But the exotic four-stroke engines have not been forgotten in the two-stroke country of the GDR, as Frank Rönicke's volume proves with plenty of period color.
