Hello my Sexy People,
I know I have been away for a while, times have been strange due to covid 19. I used my RU-vid account to purchase the bike and thank you all for the continued support which let me do this. I have some great plans for this bike where we will take it on an adventure. Let's get this video out there, so give it a like and share it!! My videos will now be shorter but hopefully more regular going forwards.

My first motorcycle 1st August 1975 P reg. You could ride up to 250cc on L plates. Happy memories of long rides in 75 and 76 miss that noble chariot.

💪💪💪 i cannot wait to finish her... waiting on parts to come back so I can build her

@woodbine66 3 года назад

In about 1980 my maths teacher had one of these. Then the joke was Q "why is an MZ like a granny?" A "Because everyone knows what they are, but nobody wants to ride them!" Yes, they were the bike that no one wanted. We all wanted RD 250 & 350 LCs. Interesting project - good luck.

@TheDonInLondon 3 года назад

Haha yeah they don't look the best we may have to improve a few things once she is restored 🤣😂 cheers is a lot of fun to build and learning a lot along the way

@MrDerbee 3 года назад

Best wishes with the restortion project. When finished; you will enjoy the benefits of what these MZ 250's were designed for and still great at...cheap, reliable, everyday transport.

@TheDonInLondon 3 года назад

Thank you 😁 can't wait to get her running they are amazing! Got another video already out showing the next challenge I have haha

Hey Don, Good to meet you today at the Ace! Maybe next year you bring your MZ to Red Oktober 🤞 All the best, Phil (MZ fan)

@TheDonInLondon Год назад

Thanks Phil, yes was great to bump into all of you! Definitely there next year although I must setup a ride soon for us at the start of next year. Thanks for dropping a message 👍👊

I'm looking forward to this m8! I started riding on a Simpson S50 then on to an etz125 then owned a ferther 18 mzs of various types then moved to big Japanese bikes now I'm back to good old mzs again! I love them and the haters make me laugh!!😜

@TheDonInLondon 3 года назад

Thanks for the comments and dropping by! Welcome to the channel buddy! Can't wait to get this one up and running soon :) have found a new love for these classic bikes! The simson s50 is cool :) ohhh we get plenty of haters here 😂😂

@mariusberger3297 3 года назад

Very nice! Looks like a 250/0 with the small fuel tank from the TS150. If that's its original tank, it's quite rare since they only came like that for a very short while.

@TheDonInLondon 3 года назад

Yes you are correct it is from the 150 but it is also the original tank think maybe they only came with the 4 speed maybe but not sure. Thanks buddy, already published a few videos on this and more to come 😁

@charnwoodmoto2496 3 года назад

Great bikes! Good luck with the renovation. I did mine earlier this year during lockdown. They are well engineered, easy to work on and are brilliant for backroads. They’ll keep up with modern traffic up to 60mph and sit all day flat out at 75-80mph in reasonable comfort. Just make sure you either set the front brake up properly or upgrade to a drum TLS (70’s Honda CB350 works well and keeps the period look) or fit the disc brake front end from a later ETZ. ONS and pattern parts all readily available and MZ riders forum a good source of info and parts.

@TheDonInLondon 3 года назад

Cheers buddy! Yes can't wait to get her on the road. Have been thinking about upgrading the front brake. Will see what I do when I get there as I am not sure. Second video already out too! Welcome to the channel buddy!

@ricksgeordiefix 3 года назад

Excellent!! purchased one 2 days ago the exact same model and year apart from mine is red. I will be converting mine to a café racer look. I will also post videos, Can't wait to see your updates!

Sweet welcome to the MZ club :) yes another video out on sunday :)

@rockingrodders8551 3 года назад

When I was 16 (about 3 decades ago) whenever me or my biker chums spotted any MZ we use to say “mmmmmmhh Z”..They were the most least glamorous thing on 2 wheels..never knew they were German..Good Luck man I think you might need it..✌🏻

@TheDonInLondon 3 года назад

Haha brilliant! Well never thought I would end up with one, but was a lot of fun riding one for sure! 👍👍

@bogusmyleene6989 2 года назад

I have a early 1960’s MZ 125 cc that is in perfect condition except it has no engine or transmission. Would you happen to know where one could be found. These bikes were not to popular here in the states. Hard to find parts. Please let me know.

@TheDonInLondon 2 года назад

I'm having to source parts from Germany but there is an MZ shop online just not sure if they will ship to US.
