Guess the make

Post by temesvar »

Have seen this thread before, so thought will start it here. Is about guessing what make is the bike in the picture.
Will start with posting picture of a bike that, as a child, was one of my favorites.

That is! MZ BK 350.
It was a joke as engine, compared with other bikes of the time,
but would love to have one now :)

I started out being interested in this thread, got confused when I couldn't figure out which comment referred to which bike and completely lost interest when I couldn't understand the terminology used in some of the posts.


Is there a reason why people use shorthand that only the chosen few will understand ?  Is there a charge per word which keeps posts so short ?
Sorry if it sounds like I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.  :o
