A Brief History of the Marque: Simson
Suhl is located in the southern part of the former East Germany, in
the early 20s...
Simson was the big east German moped manufacturer. Today they are a
lot smaller, but still exist. Check www.simson-motorrad.de
They started production 1948 with a well made 250cc four stroke called
AWO 425.
1960 this bike was too expensive to make, compared to the MZ, so the
Communist Government ordered them to make mopeds. They made models
like the simple SR1 and 2, sporty ones like Sperber and S51 and the millionseller
scooterlike Schwalbe.
In the 60's they were among the most modern mopeds, but in 1990, the
year of reunification they only had old models. Their glory days were in
enduro and Sixdays events. Here the got everything one could win,
including World Championship.
The 1990 Winning 80cc bike featured rotary disc inlet and 29HP.
Simson Engines were also used in road racing. I own two of those : a
1966 8-speed 50cc and a 1972 rotary inlet 6 speed watercooled 50cc with
16,5 HP.

1959 moped
1959 simson sr2 moped
I have recently purchased a 1959 simson sr2 moped in incredible condition
the paint is very good with all origanal emblems from tires
to the seat to the origanal air pump stored for 40 years in
a garage.
It tooks several hours to carfully clean and detail the moped thus
having
40 years of dust on it, after cleaning it,to our amazement every thing
is in perfect working order . The colour looks like a military tan
.
could you please help me with some information on the history and the
current value of this moped
many thanks Gus

1963 Simson moped
I am looking for a gas tank and an engine for my 1963 Simson moped.
This bike was 100% complete, but people at United Airlines threw away those
2 items. As you can imagine I am furious, but there is nothing I
can do but replace them. Any ideas on where to order parts? I'm in
Denver Colorado.
Thanks,

Hello Sheldon,
Sorry to bother you but I found your site while looking for info on
Simson and wondered if you might be able to help me out. I have a 125 supermotard
that was shipped right before they went out of business and I am looking
for someone that might know how many were made, if parts are available
etc... do you have any contacts, links or know anyone that may know about
these bikes?
Thanks,
