DKW was founded in Zschopau in 1919 by Danish engineer Jorgen Rasmussen and built its first motorcycle power unit, a single-cylinder, clip-on engine for bicycle attachment, in 1921. One of its last introductions immediately prior to WW2 was the immensely influential RT 125 two-stroke single, which was manufactured after the war by Harley-Davidson as the Model 'S' and BSA as the Bantam. DKW themselves recommenced production of the RT 125 in 1949 and went on to build a range of larger models based on RT 125 lines, the RT 175 being one of them. Believed cosmetically restored, with the possible exception of the wheels, this DKW RT 175 displays a total of 4,643 kilometres on the odometer. We are advised that the machine was running when purchased but has not been started since it was put into dry storage in 2019. The engine turns over with compression. There is no import paperwork with this machine, which is offered with a photocopy of its ASI and original Motociclo Motocarrozzetta registration documents.
