Minsk were operational in Belarus, which was formerly part of the USSR. They manufactured motorcycles from 1951, and initially produced the M1A, which was the Russian version of the DKW RT125, the design of which was also used by BSA to make the Bantam. They made a number of different motorcycles over the years, some of which were branded as Saturn and Cossack in the UK, including off-road competition mounts. The vendor advises us that he believes this machine to date from approximately 1985.

The bike is equipped with a steel petrol tank, mudguards, and wheel rims. It has an air-cooled engine, drum brakes front and rear, and twin-shock rear suspension. There are no documents, and being unused for some time the machine will require some re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
