<p>This NSU is called the Supermax because it was simply a superior 250cc roadster of the 1950s and early ‘60s. NSU built the smoothest, fastest, best-handling and most reliable 250 in the industry by the 1950s, with a unit-construction, 4-speed motor that was virtually unbreakable in a pressed-steel chassis with leading-link forks styled gracefully with deep fenders and rounded chrome fuel tank. Chief NSU engineer Albert Roder designed his own system for driving the rocker gear of the Max series of roadsters, which first appeared in 1952 as the Model 251 OSB Max. Rather than using pushrods or a chain-drive OHC or a shaft-and-bevel OHC, Roder created a unique valve train using a pair of connecting rods running alongside the cylinder that gave positive OHC valve operation he called the Ultramax system. The system proved easy to tune, and the factory offered a Sportmax production racer version of the Max series that shared its pressed-steel chassis and simple single-cylinder motor, at a time when the NSU factory absolutely dominated the 250cc class of the World Championships.</p><p>Our NSU Supermax is the less common Blue color, it is unrestored, original paint and upholstery. The chrome is quite good with some light surface rust on the spokes and areas of the rims. The gas tank has a small  1 inch long dent on the left side. The tires are the old German Dunlops that were OEM on this bike. This bike runs and rides perfect. It starts easy and is a joy to ride.  The odometer indicates 13892 miles which is believed to be actual miles. It has been part of the Blue Moon Cycle collection for nearly 20 years and now offered for the first time. Call John for details. 770 447 6945 x 20</p>

It also had a paper oil filter, improved hand controls and an 18 HP motor. It was a very popular model with around 97,000 of the Max series sold over 11 years.</p><p>Our Supermax is a nice original example in the less common blue color. It is not restored but rather well preserved showing less than 14,000 miles since new. We have serviced it at our shop and it is in excellent running and riding condition. It is a personal favorite of Blue Moon's owner, John Landstrom and has been in his collection the past 20 years. Now it is offered for sale for the first time. </p>

<p>NSU began motorcycle production in 1901, four years before they began producing cars.  The company prospered with motorcycles , and although air-raid bombing during World War II destroyed their factories, by the mid-1950s, NSU was the world’s biggest motorcycle maker.  It is rumored that the name “Konsul” was selected for this motorcycle because it incorporated the company’s letters “nsu.”  An advertising slogan used was “intelligent heads buy Konsul.”  This motorcycle was often used with a sidecar.  In the early 1950s, NSU became concerned that micro cars might replace motorcycles.  So in 1958, they came out with their own micro car–the Prinz I.  NSU also built the first production car powered by a Wankel engine–the Wankel Spider Convertible.  Lane Motor Museum has an excellent cross-section of NSU cars in our German area.                     </p><p><strong>Specifications:</strong><br>Manufacturer:  NSU Motorenwerke AG<br>Country of Origin:  Germany<br>Engine:  Single cylinder, 494cc,  21 HP, 4 stroke<br>Transmission:  Manual 4 speed<br>Top Speed:  76 miles per hour<br>Years of Production:  1951-54<br>Number Produced:  Approximately 6,000<br>Original Cost:  2,500 Deutsche Marks</p><p>Our NSU Konsul was acquired buy us in Germany 25 years ago, we sold it to an Australian client and we later bought it back,  it is now offered for sale by us for the first time in over a decade.
