DKW Super Sport 500, 1929
In the autumn of 1926, the Zschopauer Motorenwerke presented the Z 500, the first DKW motorcycle with a 2-cylinder engine. This engine originally had an air-cooled engine, but its successor was given a water-cooled engine on account of its better thermal load capacity. The 500-series Super Sport was launched in 1929, the sporty top model in the DKW motorcycle range. The 2-cylinder engine is the same unit that was used from 1928 in the DKW automobile production.
