Retro: East German Simson was every teenager’s wet dream. Whoever had the enduro version was king


The guys who grew up in the 80s and partly even the 90s didn’t have much idea of ​​what computer games were or, God forbid, a mobile phone. Those who didn’t listen to michuda were naturally fans of cars and motorbikes. Well, officially at fifteen, but realistically much earlier, it was already possible to acquire the delightful feelings of fleeting freedom behind the handlebars of a loudly growling and blue-smoking machine. Go to the girl’s house, ring the bell, ask her father if she can go out and, if she doesn’t let herself be denied, go to the pond or to the club. On what? Of course, on a machine with a two-stroke engine up to 50 cm3. Leaving aside the single-seater and therefore unsuitable Stadion or Jawa Pařez, the home Pionýry and Mustangs were the logical choice. But those who once tasted a foreign product of the Simson brand never wanted to return to Jawa.
