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.

but would love to have one now

Never knew MZ made anything other than two strokes. Very cool.

Actually, you are right! It IS a two stroke, 1955 two cylinder bike.

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.
