Description

1953 ZUNDAPP KS601 SPORTOlder Restoration. Rare "SPORT" Model in Excellent Condition
The KS601 was in production from approximately 1951-1958. Much rarer than the period BMW, he Zundapp sported a very similaropposed twin in 600cc. This is a 1953 KS601 Sport. The Sport was a higherperformance model boasting 34 horsepower, hile the standard KS601 had 28.
This bike was restored in the early 1990s. The engine was rebuilt, nd the frame and bodywork painted in the color combination you see here. After the restoration, he motorcycle was briefly driven around the block, hen parked. It was stored indoors for 22 years until recently when I acquired it. The fuel had been drained prior to parking the bike, o the fuel tank and carbs where relatively clean. The engine was carefullybrought back to life. The tanks was cleaned, he carbs were rebuilt, new battery was installed, nd the bike fired on the 3rd kick. The engine issmooth and tight, ith absolutely no smoke. So far, fter several runs, t has not leaked one drop of oil. The transmission is tight and the brakes are excellent. The tires look great, nd have virtually no miles on them, ut they are old and will need to be replaced before any serious riding miles.
The paint has held up very well. It is shiny and looks new, owever there are a few small chips here and there and a slight dent on the lower front fender edge. Most of the chrome is perfect, ith the exception of a few bolt heads, he points cover, nd the upper fork legs which show some deterioration. Some of the spokes on the rearwheel are showing some surface rust. The aluminum on the bike (wheels, ork legs, riple tree, ubs, tc.) is spectacular, nd most is polished to a correct (not too shiny) sheen.The beautiful mufflers are ding free and mirror-like.MANY hours have been spent cleaning and polishing the bike, ringing it back to itsformer lustre.
The the original petcocks areinstalledand they have just been rebuilt. They are leak free. An original Hella tail light and brand new carburetor top boots are included with the sale.
