Help to id early 50's european motorcycle
Came across photo of father riding his bike in the range of 1950 to 1956 in Hungary. I have been looking but am yet to id the make model. Can anyone help with the id of this motorcycle ?
Thanks Tom

Just wanted to send you a personal thank you for help in identifying my dad’s bike from the photo I posted in the Sheldon EMU forum. I have already managed to find a ton of information on the make model including as you can see the tank badge and attached photos.

Reading deeper it appears that the brand was in fact associated with Csepel. A fact that seems to be upheld by a photo (see attached)

I found with both the Csepel tank badge and the Pannonia badge on the front fender as in dads bike. I will post what I can later today in the forum as well to hopefully help others should they come across the model themselves.

The links below have to be translated by google but still give a ton of history on the brand.

Find a Pannonia or a Jawa to ride Romania
Pannonia T5
Hi ! I registered as 2wheelsorhell, but the paradise bird flies up my nose... isn't that a real "bike name" ? Anyway...
We're a french couple, making a TV travel documentary series for VOYAGE, the first french travel channel. Producer is Gedeon Programmes, based in Paris. Title of this series is « 2 Wheels Or Hell ! ». Trailer of 1st episode is here >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2qA81vXQEA
Basically it's about travelling and discovering from the motorcyclist point of view, sort of a road-movie.
Third episode is planned in Romania. Planned from mid-september to mid-october 2009. We would immensely love to find and ride either a Pannonia or a Jawa !
Where to find it (on rent or unformal arrangement) ? Who is the guy who can get us 2 such bikes ?? Any tip ? 1000 Thanks !
Paris

An almost finished Pannonia
1964 Pannonia T1
Great site dedicated to Pannonias!

I have a 1964 Pannonia T1, purchased in Hungary in 2004. Posted some before and after pictures. I painted it flat black and added some red to it for the ?hot-rod? look, not to mention the professional pinstriping on it.

The bike consumed all of my very limited free time in the last two and half years. It was fun though! I took the whole bike apart to the last bits and pieces, including the engine, and restored it. There is no rusted bolt or old rubber on the bike for sure. It took me a few trips to Hungary to get the needed parts from swap meets and shops. Parts I couldn?t find, I made myself. Put in quite a few hours of machining and welding.

I just took it in for a safety inspection today. If everything pans out okay, I will have it on the road soon. Old bikes need to be ridden.

If I can be a help to anyone, let me know.

Cheers,

Peter

Pannonia RB250 (1951)
Hi,
This was an unusual motorcycle, being a 2stroke boxer twin, are there any surviving examples and pictures? Also the English Velocette made the Viceroy also 250cc. Both of these are unique machines 'flat twin 2strokes'. Martynhall62 at aol.com please reply to this address

many thanks and kindest regards

Spare parts to Pannonia

Hi!
You can check if this gyu still has spare parts to Pannonia. He is a son to Matti Viro, the great man from Finland and a real Pannonia fan but unfortunately he is no more among us but the son took over all the spare parts.
