1995 MZ Saxon Tour 500. Powers by a 500cc Rotax single, 5 spd, enclosed chain drive. These were being made behind the Iron Curtain in Germany. When the wall fell this motorcycle was their answer to their sudden competitor; BMW. It wasn't made many years. But this motorcycle company made motorcycles for a lot of years. These things can be found all over the world in the different models they made. Not many made it to the USA. Unfortunately we thought we needed bigger motorcycles. We have a dealer here that sold these. This one is actually for sale locally here.

Re: Tasty Thumpers Reply #146 - 06/10/16 at 06:33:13 At the go kart track they have a Rotax engine block mounted between plexiglass plates. It's such a cool place, wheeled lifts to move them around, and a small warehouse of parts and garage, drill press, I wanna go Back..

I COULD easily see riding either of those. Weight is inside my limit. The seat height is the thing that gets me. The Guzzi Nevada was tippy toe. And the ergonomics was for crap..
Like a jockey, ankles up under my butt. But it was fun having a 750 twin. For as jacked up as they are it's surprisingly easy to get hard bits on the ground in a sweeper. It's really unnerving hearing metal grind and feeling the rear tire start out. Wasn't too hard to get it back, but the seat was forever changed. I didn't Know that the sphincter could pinch directionally.

The bottom bike lists 117 km/h , that's pretty ripping. And twenty ish litres of petrol, and gets good mileage,
I dig both, a bunch.

It's just a shame that we can't all have a warehouse and mechanics to keep everything in working order like Leno.
