DKW SB 500 – When Machines Had Soul
Offered here is a remarkable example of the DKW SB 500, an iconic 500cc two-stroke motorcycle produced in the early 1940s. As one of the flagship models of DKW — then the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer — the SB 500 represented the pinnacle of pre-war German engineering: durable, purposeful, and impeccably crafted.
This model was designed for long-distance touring, favored for its robust construction and simplicity in maintenance. The 500cc two-stroke engine delivers a distinctive riding experience, combining low-end torque with the unmistakable sound and character of early 20th-century motorcycle design.
This particular one? It was build in 1939 and registered in 1940. It is in great condition an has been taken good care of. For the past couple of years it has been standing still in a dry and warm garage. The odometer reads 1830 km.
If you know what you’re looking at, you know what this is. Whether for a private collection, a museum display, or discerning riders seeking a truly unique experience, this DKW SB 500 is a piece of motorcycling history not often seen on the market.
A rare opportunity to acquire a machine of such heritage and integrity.
