    ZUNDAPP ISDT 50 & 100 SCRAMBLER
    WITH THE MEMORIES of the 100cc Zundapp
    ISDT replica
    still fresh, it was amidst glad
    hearts and many shouted “huzzahs” that
    we accepted the 50cc version for testing
    for this issue. And, as if that were not
    enough, the 50 was accompanied with a
    new 1OOcc Zundapp Sport. The ISDT
    bikes differ only in the engine departments
    The flexibility of power that the 50 lacks
    relative to the 100, is made up for in part
    by a fifth gear, which permits the bike a
    (op speed of about 60 mph with standard
    gearing. It was generally felt that one or
    two less teeth on the countershaft would
    increase the bike’s potential even more.
    I But the buyer will be able to experiment
    L with gearing, because the bike is sold with ,
    Well as carburetor jets and-replace*, j
    ment covers for the Magura controls.
    One point that-comes romping home
    with This bike is that it is, first and fore-
    most, a motorcycle and not just a group-
    ing of compromised components selected
    to accommodate a small displacement en-
    gine. Never must excuses be made for it
    because of its size. The 50cc ISDT is swift
    and will give “fils” to most machines dis-
    placing twice as much. Naturally, it isn’t
    as ’’brutish” as the lOOcc number, but it
    lacks nothing in handling and stability. In
    fact, it is probably one of the most inhen 4
    ently stable motorcycles currently built,
    regardless of size! The total package is
    unbelievably well thought oul II doesn’tj
    ■have'ah ounce of. fat on it, yet isn’t with*’
    . out its share of creature comfort. The seat
    4s good enough-to be termed “orthopedic.’lj
    and standing position is excellent for a
    rTider of average proportions. Hand con*i
    Airols are smooth and light to the touch. J
    «The engine has a relatively broad power
    band and evidences little “camminess”
    and what does exist occurs very near the
    bottom. The expansion chamber/muffler
    is deceptively quiet at all engine speeds
    and is tucked well out of harm’s way. The
    piston employs a single Dykes “L” pat-
    tern ring, and Zundapp’s third-port ar-’
    rangement is used for the barrel. The
    manufacturer claims an increase of about
    10 percent for this set-up over a more...
