militarized versions and. as displayed. purchased civilian versions. DKW became famous for producing
successful racing motorcycles during the 1930s. The DKW 500 was much less common than the 125-cc. 250cc and 350-cc models. particularly the 125-cc and 350-cc models which were produced in large numbers
until the end of the war. The DKW was the only 500-cc two-stroke motorcycle used by the German
Wehrmacht (military) in World War II. The engine unit was a parallel-twin with 64-mm x 76-mm dimensions
for its slightly inclined cylinders. A single carburetor at the rear supplied both cylinders and each had its
own low-slung exhaust system. The four-speed gearbox was built into the crankcase and provided the
rider with the option of gear change by foot or the more traditional and common hand unit positioned on
the right side of the fuel tank. The frame was constructed from channel section steel pressings with
plunger rear suspension. The front forks were the same blade girder design as the smaller DKW
motorcycles. A passenger seat was sometimes added. Some DKW 500s were built with sidecars. The civilian
DKW 500 solos were well-liked by the German troops. Motornummer 43005. Das Fahrzeug stammt aus
