Only in spirit alas.

but I have a factory workshop manual for the ETZ I'm willing to lend
for you to copy.

I've got a manual for the 250-350.

Unless you mean the modern ones?

Hammo

Sold the tooling to Turkey, so ETZ250s are still being made there.

Didn't know about the 2-stroke/ Turkey thing, tks for that snippet, ZB

After their run with Yamaha 660 singles in their Scorpion series slowly
petered out about 5 years ago, they're heavily involved in the 125 class
which can be ridden with a car-license in Germany/ other European countries.
Doing well there, then company was taken over by some Malaysian/ Indonesian
(don't know exactly) investors (about 2-3 years ago) who've poured monies
into the alreeady existing development of the 100cc V-twin roadbike, a
from-scratch project.
Don't know how it's selling over there, but it's certainly in the shops and
the few reports I've read online are pretty complimentary.

I saw Conehead on one.

Hammo

 

Yeah, me dad for one.

Ash.

 

So that makes at least two of us left :-(
MM.

 

No, I have a Haynes manual AND a genuine parts book
MM.

 

Oh, a V-twin 100cc! If it's a two-stroke, I wants one.

It was a very nice bike, too. Cheap, reliable, plenty of room, nice 660
single engine, beaut running-gear, hard on tyres, wish I still had it. Wish
I still had all my bikes.

 

Who?

 

never sell bikes, one day you'll learn

 

Sorry Cam, I think they are a factor of 10 out

Rats. :-(

Two IT490 top ends on a common bottom end would be rather
interesting.
MM

 

it'd change the colour of your day!

smack

 

Yeah, but thats 10 times the capacity Cam was after - he's a crazyman
you know...

;-)

big (a 100cc two-stroke v-twin? I'd probably go one of them too!)

 

I think brown trousers would come in handy
