Description from the seller
No reserve: DKW RT 200/2 from 1955.
Originating from a Belgian collection of 10 units (see other lots) and still in very nice condition.
The engine has stood still for a few years, but has now been restarted. Because of storage in the collection, a service and technical check are recommended before road use.
A magnificent specimen for the collection.

This motorcycle is perfect for relaxed cruising. It is light and maneuverable. In addition, it has that wonderful two-stroke sound and smell. The DKW RT 200/2 has a classic appearance with lots of chrome work, spoke wheels and drum brakes. A real eye-catcher to go out on the road with! But also a beautiful piece for a collection.
The RT 200/2 is a typical two-stroke from that era: simple, light and relatively maintenance-friendly. It is an uncomplicated design, with few moving parts. That makes it easy to maintain. Incidentally, DKW was the pioneer in two-stroke engines; they were world leaders in the 1930s–1950s. These engines were commonly used for daily commuting.
The motorcycle has Belgian paperwork, see photos.
If desired, we can provide an invoice with technical specifications.
The motorcycle is viewable and collectable in Winssen (Gelderland), the Netherlands.
We can arrange transportation.
Transport available via a transport company (buyer pays).
The motorcycle is delivered without petrol and battery.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
