Daniel,

I am in the middle of rebuilding a KS750.

Yes you can get a BMW R75 or Zundapp KS750 for
$8000 US, but that would get you one that is good for
restoration. A sound restored machine would start at around
$15000 mark.......

DkW's are not that rare, and parts are generally available in Germany.
However, I would suggest that something like a BMW R35 single would
be a good machine to start with. Parts are OK and of course its a 4 stroke.
However, care is needed as the post war East German EMW is sometimes
passed of for the real McCoy (BMW's original factory was in the Eastern zone
after 1945).

Email me off list if you want to discuss.

Regards and Happy new year

David Reay
