Vintage and classic motorcycle blog. Documentation of a life-long two wheel passion. Tales from the workshop, period photos, brochures, event reports, rides and anything else two-wheel related. Keeps me sane whilst working at sea.

DKW 1977
DKW from 1977. A range of generic two strokes plus the fairly out there Wankel rotary engined W2000.
Only saw that Wankel, marketed in the US as a Hercules. It was a good-looking conventional appearing bike, nicely appointed for the time. It was expensive, underpowered and the parent company took a financial bath on the endeavor that took decades from which to recover.
