Its old Zschopau base having ended up in the newly established East Germany at the end of WW2, DKW set about building a new factory in Ingolstadt in the Allied-occupied West Germany. Meanwhile, in the Russian-occupied zone, production of DKW’s influential RT125 recommenced under state control as part of the ‘planned economy’. Manufactured by Irbits Motorzykle Zavod (IMZ) and sold via USIA shops in Eastern Europe, the K125 was an exact copy of DKW’s RT125, which was also built by Harley-Davidson as the Model ‘S’ and BSA as the Bantam. Accompanying documentation records that this example was bought new by one Karl Holzinger in August 1955 and thus is one of the last of its kind sold in Austria before the departure of the occupying Soviet troops. Part of the Museum collection since 1981, the machine is offered with Austrian/Russian Typenschein
