Yes I think the Zundapps were German, but the motor was a Sachs. Which is why it sounded Penton like, they also had Sachs engines in the early years.
I remember those running all over the place when I was growing up in Germany.
YES I remember! We were in Stuttgart.Me too. I saw those by the thousands when I was a kid in Bavaria. What was funny was the "gangs" on Zundapps. They'd blow through town sounding like a pack of angry bees. The riders would be wearing jeans jackets with club colors and great gang names like "Heaven's Devils." That's what comes from the US exporting those awful Nancy Sinatra motorcycle movies to Europe.
