The first NSU motorcycle appeared in 1901 followed by the first NSU car in 1905. WWII left NSU’s factories completely destroyed, but they resumed production of their pre-war models in 1946 and introduced the MAX in 1953. The Max had some very innovative features including a monocoque frame made from pressed steel which was later inherited by the Supermax. By 1955 NSU had become the largest motorcycle producer in the world and was said to have inspired Soichiro Honda in his early designs.

This 1956 NSU Max 250 is the Special model with its unique Albert Roder designed Ultramax connecting link drive for its single overhead camshaft and full width alloy hubs. An expensive bike back in the 1950s but built with typical German quality, it could outperform many larger capacity machines of its day. The bike has been restored to be ridden and has been in recent use by the vendor and is fitted with the correct rubber seat pad and Magura controls. A very attractive bike with its typical NSU Blue finish with Pale Blue pinstriping and chrome tank panels, it comes supplied with various receipts, a workshop manual, a parts book, an owner's manual and a current V5C.
