I've heard of someone making a twin by keying the cranks of two TS250s together and mounting them in the frame in paralell. But that was a custom build.
They tried all sorts in those ETZ chassis though. Even a rotary. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Thanks for info .
This was the MZ 2 pot etz 500cc I was looking at :-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUyMVp8lMWg
Also a bonus lol :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97rk068W4FY
looks like a 51 or 71 simpson modded with 3 pot`s and working at 153cc
Seems these "older" bike`s (1980`s to early 90`s) are either being built from new or old one`s getting "fixed up". There is plenty of these on the polish and some german websites, but finding it hard to get any info on how to get hold of one lol.
I would def have the 502cc still old retro looking but more "up-to-date" powerplant but with the looks like basic easy fixer uper |

That bike is home-made. It's two ETZ engines joined together at the crank (they have a keyed taper on both ends of the crank which lends itself to being keyed together).
To get one you would either have to build it yourself or find someone to build one for you. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Over the years I've had occasional thoughts about getting an old MZ ... |
I chose a Honda Superdream instead of an MZ ...... something tells me I should have chosen the MZ.
Always fancied a CZ 250 twin as well, mad I know??
This is my favourite YouTube video

Love my MZ. Also like that video! Shows a lot about riding abroad. More so, when you're on your own like me.

If you're going to buy a 4t MZ, consider the 660 skorpion over a rotax engined ETZ which is a bit of a mongrel in anyones book. The skorpion is a handly little roadster and very well put together. It's based on a Yamaha motor but assembled in Germany.
I had one of their enormous supermotos with the same engine, it was a great bike. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

You know the drill, pics or it didn’t happen!
Why Turkey?? |
Why not? I don't have any pictures of the bike below monuments or anything. but this is a picture I took on the road from Alba Lulia to Piatra Neamts in Rumania, which goes over the mountains a few times. It was so nice, that after spending the night at Piatra Neamt, I rode back to Alba Lulia the next day.
Picture was taken with a Potato. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11
