2005 MZ 1000S-Exotic Sport Touring Bike-Very Low Miles-Great Deal

This is my 2005 MZ 1000S with just 2304 original miles.  It  sports a 1 liter (999cc) parallel twin fuel injected engine with 117hp and 72 ft/lbs torque. a six speed transmission. adjustable suspension (Marzocchi front & Sachs rear). and Nissin four pot brakes. It is  one of the last and perhaps one of the best bikes to come out of the Motorradwerk Zschopau (MZ) factory in Germany before the plant closed in 2012.

MZ was once one of the largest and perhaps oldest motorcycle companies in the world. Well known for its 2 stroke engines. nbsp;MZ traced its history back to pre-war DKW. After WWII. the plant came under communist control (renamed IFA. then MZ). Foreign investment came into East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall and eventually the MZ 1000S was born. though we are more familiar with the more common Skorpion and Baghira lines.

Uncommon in the USA (30 are said to be stateside). the 1000S is more common in Europe. While the factory is now closed. the spares business in Germany is open (Operated by the former managers of MZ). I order my parts through Graham's Motorcycle. MZ's licensed parts distributer in the UK. Common parts. such as oil filters and spark plugs. are easily available here. The service manual and parts manual are posted there online. Its an easy bike to keep on the road.

The engine is an in-house MZ design. the company's first four stroke engine. The engines are said to be bullet proof. The are forums out there which list owners racking up 35-45. 00 miles without a valve adjustment. let alone anything major.

This bike is in excellent condition  but I am thinning my lineup of my unique bikes from far away places. I normally drain all gas. pull the battery and flush any brake fluid with new fluid. so storage was not a problem. I took this bike out of storage last week and I drove it just yesterday. so its ready to go.   There are a few small nicks in the gas tank said to be from the previous owner using a tank bag.  I will include a brand new black tank striping decal as used on the MZ 1000SFX. Otherwise the bike is as new. Title is clear and in my own name.

For a historical perspective. I will include my set of bound service books that were published in 1957 for MZ and Simson motorcycles along with two MZ mascots. I also have some extra odd parts for this bike. All go with.

You might guess. I like special motorcycles. So if you have something to trade. let me know. Otherwise make an offer. cash talks. Also for sale locally. Email for an appointment.
