Hi, spoke to MZ MD in germany today for well over an hr, (totally skint me now, i was on my mobile).
MZ well and truly alive, business plans are there for next 2-4 years. MZ are not going anywhere.
New 2007 brochure out in Jan.
MZ'S foreign owners will not being going away.
MZ rt 125 production to stay at Zcshopau.
MZ 1000s to stay in production, demos will be made more freely available in 2007.
MZ 1000s engine blueprint is definelty not FOR SALE.
They admit times are hard, just like most other major bike manufactures.
This years costs-saving and small layoff of staff have resolved this situation.
They admitt they need mid range cc bike, but least 3years off.
The new models in pipleine are RT 150, RT 175 (and all the different types like 125 range now)
New Rt 250 similar to above in different guises.
They will be going back to their roots!!
MZ range selling very well in Eastern Germany esp 125 cc Range, 1000cc bikes selling but admitt probbaly not fast enough. West Germany sales still need more work but gradually getting there. (Bit like Our UK trains haha)
MZ Motorcycles of the future will be simple, rugged, economical, rugged but very modern and funky motorbikes.
MZ will be in 2007 being have New Main Importer In the UK.
MZ also admitt this will increase costs due to this, but will enhance service, dealer network.
Due to this MZ 2007 range of bikes worldwide, NO PRICE INCREASE.
HOPE THIS HELPS MZ PURCHASERS TO BE!!
AND i hope my phone call wasnt a waste of money, but MZ Md seemed quite honest and upfront.
Bye all you MZers, i know we will be around for another few years.
MZ IS HERE TO STAY, BYE FROM COLD AND WET AND WILD WALES. _________________ Owner of 10 old mz bikes from 1956 to 1976
