1933 Zundapp K500 with Stoye sidecar. 4,115 miles (odometer reading in picture is in km). Runs and drives well. Everything works. In great shape for being pre-WWII. Not 100% sure if this was a military vehicle or not, ut it sure looks the part. Comes with de-miled MG34 machine gun. New Heidenau K37 tires on the bike. Sidecar tire still in good shape. Older restoration. Seats, aillight, rake and clutch levers, nd throttle are later BMW style parts. Carburetor is a Bing that was used on later K500's, o not original. License plates are reconstructions. Seats have been recovered by a guy here in St. Louis in dark leather; they look great. Sidecar seat still in good shape. Bike has no title, nd ebay doesn't have a way to select this in the "title" section, o we had to choose "rebuilt, ebuild-able, nd reconstructed," but bike has not been rebuilt. Bike will be sold with Missouri bill of sale. This bike and sidecar are a very well preserved piece of history you can actually drive. Bike is for sale locally, o we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Zundapp was the sensation of the 1933 Berlin Show where, t the cost of unimaginable effort, t unveiled no fewer than six new machines designed by the famed engineer Richard Kitchen, ho left his mark on much of German two-wheeler production.

Motor Vehicles for Everyone.
In Germany's expansionist mood, here Hitler's grand political plans called for an expressway network backed by motor vehicles for the entire population, Zundapp production soared. The Nuremberg firm could not keep up with demand; in 1933 it had celebrated production of the 100,000th motorcycle since its creation in 1917; but it was to build a further 100,000 by September 1938! The major mechanical peculiarity of the 1933 K-series Zundapps lay in their transmission: the rear wheel was driven by shaft, hile the gearbox contained a separate chain for each of the four speeds plus a fifth to drive the camshaft. Well-finished but lacking unnecessary frills, his robust and practical machine had many neat touches, ike light -alloy foot boards of which the left-handed one folded down to form a stand.
