Another rare old bike in the UK


This is a bike my eyes keep getting drawn to. If I had less sense and more room in the garage at home I would have this. It is an MZ ES175/2. The engine is a sleaved down 250. I ought to look up why MZ did that? They were never imported into this country as far as I know as the engine size is an odd one for the UK market. This was another one of Mark's eBay excursions. It was a runner when he got it but it suffered from low compression. He tinkered with it but it soon dropped down the priority list of project bikes. It is now a non runner and the cyclinder head needs finding.
