DKW Hummel 50 - Emblem

This DKW Hummel 50 (VIN: 01502887) is a highly original example of what DKW was putting out in post WWII Germany – the Hummel sold quite well. The bike you see in front of you just won the Most Original European in the 2015 Dania Beach Motorcycle Show. It’s had a recent service but has an issue where it occasionally cuts out during the shift from 1st to 2nd gear.

Find it for sale in Pompano Beach, Florida with a BIN of $2,400 (which is also what the reserve is)
