MZ 1000S
MZ 1000S is a 998 cc parallel twin sport-touring motorcycle produced between 2003 and 2007〔http://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/mz/1000s/2004/〕 by the now defunct German company MZ Motorrad. Once the flagship of the range, the 1000S was MZ's largest-ever displacement motorcycle, and their first multi-cylinder bike since 1959.
== Development history ==
In the Communist era, the East German firm MZ Motorrad produced only single-cylinder, small-displacement motorcycles. These were mostly rugged 2-stroke commuters, from which MZ developed successful 250 cc ISDT machines. In 1994, MZ produced the 660 cc Skorpion range. This was followed in 2001 by the Baghira motard, which also used the Yamaha single engine.〔http://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/mz/baghira-660/2001/〕 Later, after being taken over by Hong Leong Group of Malaysia, MZ began a project to produce its own superbike.
Initial reports 〔 Motorcycle News October 2002〕 were that this would have a V-twin engine, but MZ, possibly influenced by their link with Yamaha, finally opted for a parallel-twin instead. Somewhat surprisingly, given that Yamaha had successfully pioneered the 270° crank idea on their TRX850, MZ opted for a 180° crank for this superbike. The frame is a twin-spar design, not unlike that of the Aprilia Falco; but whereas the Falco has an alloy frame, the MZ used chrome-moly steel.
The 1000S "New Edge" design was drawn by Peter Naumann, and the 1000S won a silver medal from International Design Forum. The prototype model of the 1000S was previewed during Intermot 2000 in Germany and went into production in 2003. The bike initially sold well, particularly in Germany. MZ, who had grand plans to become a major world manufacturer, went on to produce some variants of the 1000S such as the MZ 1000SF naked bike and MZ 1000ST sports touring bike. Financial troubles set in and the MZ factory was closed.
