6-4 Update: This MZ is back up for sale, find it with bidding up to $1,025 and the reserve not yet met
Post-Listing Update: This Saxon Country did not meet reserve as bidding only got up to $1,285.
I love featuring models that I’ve never seen before, and this incredibly rare MZ Saxon Country fits the bill, thanks to reader Christian E.
As MZ was prone to do, they put a Rotax engine into the Country. This 494cc engine produced 34 horsepower that went through a 5-speed transmission and were transferred to the rear wheel with an enclosed chain drive. Starting was done with a kicker or a magic button, and dry weight was just 335 pounds. Unfortunately, they were a solid 20% more expensive than competitors like the KLR650, and it’s not like MZ had an extensive dealer network. For more information on the Country, check out this retrospective from Rider Magazine.
This specific MZ Saxon Country (VIN: SNZ5VRCX0R6504531) has just over 10,000 miles and everything is claimed to work. It comes with ‘all the manuals’, though it’s missing the quirky original exhaust.
