I bought a DKW Hobby horse from Steve Vine a few years back, It did have lots of nice aluminium trim items on it. I dont suppose it was the first bike to have a belt cone transmission though. It goes back a long way even on cars, didnt the first Bleriot Whippets have this? I owned a Triumph tina scooter with it but the system was not well executed, much vibration through the handlebars. I thought the Manurhin was more famous for being the first bike to be powder coated?

I was fiddled on the purchase of one of my Manhurin so I called Yahoudi, which of course meant the other had to be Stefan, a freer spirit in motion to its more classically built partner.
