1958 Zundapp Citation

The vehicle is a unique and vintage 1958 Zundapp Citation, manufactured during the year it shares with its historic peers like Elvis Presley's debut album and the release of the classic film "The Blob". This distinctive motorbike hails from the post-World War II era of West Germany, bearing the name of a company that once produced aircraft engines. It was crafted in 1958, a time when motorcycle design was evolving to incorporate newer technologies like telescopic front forks and unitary construction. The Zundapp Citation is known for its robust yet elegant styling, with a long, low-slung profile typical of bikes from this era. Its distinctive features include a 492cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine, giving it considerable power in its time, and an innovative swingarm rear suspension system that improved ride comfort compared to contemporaries.
