I used to own this small 2 stroke 200cc Zündapp DB200 (1936) which I imported from Germany. That went to a new home in San Diego.

Anybody have any NSU images to share?

Thanks

What vehicle is next to this bike?

[NickG]

I think its a Horch command car...(staff car). I have not visited this museum in Indiana yet...but I have been to the original collection in Belgium before it all got packed up and shipped to the States... I was happy that the collection was saved completely intact for the general public to view and not broken up and disappearing into private collections. Worth visiting and it on my wish list to go one day. The images of the NSU were sent to me by the curator of the museum.

Back to NSU's! Here's a cropped close up image showing some bike details. On the left is standard Army DKW350 (2 stroke) and on the right a (4 stroke) NSU (351 or 601?) requisitioned civilian bike with civilian registration, chrome tank still and civi paint scheme.
