These are two MZ 250s coupled together aren`t they?

Certainly the barrels and heads suggest it. Got any further photographs - wondering how things like the clutch and gearbox fit into this as it raises more questions than answers.

This engine was at the DDR museum in Berlin. There was also a 500cc flat twin, like the BK350. As far as I can remember they were developed in Zschopau.

Hi Therealche.

Thanks for that. I`ll have a look at their website assuming they have one.

Cheers.
