MZ BK 350 Two Stroke Flat Twin

The MZ BK 350 (short for "boxer kardan 350 cc") was produced from 1952 to 1959, by Motorrad Werk Zschopau in East Germany. The BK 350 was the first new design to come out of the former DKW factory after World War 2, and was initially offered under the IFA (Industrieverbad Fahrzeugbau) brand.

Contrary to the popular claims, the two cylinder oppossed piston two stroke engine isn't a Nazi-era aircraft donkey engine (jet starter), even though DKW had designed a 250 cc boxer donkey engine that never reached production.
