1928 DKW Z Range



The Z range of motorcycles was step up from DKW's earlier motorcycles. The structure of the motorcycle was standardized and recognizably "modern". Notably, the engine does not have a full-length exhaust, only a small exhaust and silencer that ends under the motor. Drive remains by belt to the rear wheel.
