I recently purchased a barn fresh 125 Sachs "cross Country" dirt bike and was wondering what year or what Country it came from. I bought it from someone close to the Canadian border. I suspect its a 1971 DKW,and it sure looks like one, but it says Sachs on the Brake drums and Engine cases. Any information would be appreciated.Thanks

Raymond Check out the movie "on Any Sunday" you will see a few Sachs bikes on it. There were quite a few Sachs sold out west. I know that they are big collector bikes in Italy as I sent an entire shipping container of NOS bikes and parts to a friend in Rome. Check out the "Hercules Register" you will find out more info. Try Google on the word search. Made in Germany about the same as a DKW or Prior motorcycle.:)
Raymond,
You may also book mark sachs on eBay. I see ads and manuals come up from time to time.
