DKW was alternatively known as either 'Dampf Kraft Wagen' or 'Der Knabische Wunsche'. The former being the name of founder Jorgen Rasmussen's original steam engine, and the latter 'the schoolboy's dream'. They were able to restart production post-war in 1949, when the RT125 made a return. Other models followed, and later they also made a small range of Enduro and motocross machines with two-stroke engines and Earles-type leading link forks, many of which were exported to the USA.
This machine dates from approximately 1969, and is believed to be substantially original and unrestored. It has twin-shock rear suspension, steel petrol tank and mudguards, it has drum brakes front and rear and will require some re-commissioning prior to further use. There is no documentation, and whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown and is sold strictly as viewed.
