Chatter / MZ 500 Country
« Last post by manxie on July 15, 2025, 12:49:45 PM »It`s arrived .... yay!!!!
it`s been sat for many many years and needs a bit of work and cleaning up before I start it or ride it but I`m very pleased with it overall.
Nobody seems to know exact numbers of these imported to the UK but internet research seems around 12.... So pretty rare to our shores and I`m pleased to own one.
cant wait

thanks for the info, I`ll have a skeet!
Yes, the good old Manx weather stopped procedures last night but for a change the sun is shining today, and looks good for the rest of the week, so all things should go to plan for the Southern. And I`ll be able to ride to work on the little Enfield too :-)

Shame the Southern 100 was hit by the rain t'other night. Fingers and all else crossed for tonight.
As for the Countryman spares? It was a rare bird back in the day and cycle parts won't be easy, I would suggest you have a looksee for German/Continental forums.
The Rotax motor is a rugged bit of kit. If you need parts/tuning etc. then ex-REME man at Sportax Racing is probably a good contact, here is the web site link:

I`ve just bought a 500 Rotax engined MZ Country and waiting delivery. It`s a UK bike but I`m still here on the Isle of Man so I have to wait.
I was wondering where the best place would be to get service items? IE cambelt, filters, etc?
many thanks :-)
