My Old Little Rocket

You might ask yourself the question: "What is this even doing here?"
And well I don't really know, you have all right to think that this is a bit of an odd one.
Condition? Let's not talk about that. Fast? No not really. Comfortable? Somewhat. Fun? Heck yes!
There aren't a lot remaining of this model, they generally didn't make a lot and Europeans trashed them really hard, it's almost impossible to find original parts as the factory doesn't even exist anymore. But I'm proud of this bike as is.

MZ ETZ 125, single cylinder 125cc, two stroke, made in 1987 GDR.

Cool! What's the specs? Horsepower? Torque? Top speed? Looks like good fun.

I still have my Yamaha 125, which was my first bike. I run it alongside my Fireblade and your right.

"Fun" sums it up perfectly.

Not really. I visit here a bit and love seeing the bike photos.....Except scooters

Thanks! About the specs; 125cc (soon to be 150cc), 8kW 11 horsepower at 6000 RPM, 10.5 pound-feet of torque.
Top speed should be about 100-110 km/h as of now.

Exactly. These bikes were meant for taking you from point A to point B and they do that perfectly. Easy to handle, relatively quick and light!

Scooters are... well scooters. I don't know, something that has only one gear and an automatic clutch is not too appealing.
