Powered by a 250cc two stroke, the Super Sabre was the top of the line Zundapp at the time.

The US importer was Berliner, and in a ’57 ad in Cycle Magazine they called it “the world’s fastest standard machine in its class” with features like “adjustable swingarm rear suspension, hydraulic shock absorbers, short stroke 6.5 to 1 compression ratio, over 17 horsepower, approximately 80 mph top speed, 100W generator, and 18” wheels.”

They also touted vaguer details like “large brakes, dual sponge seat, western handlebars, and a fast throttle.” Colors that year were black, brick red, and metallic blue, and a “Scramblers Kit” was available with 16″ wheels, knobby tires, a skid plate, and shorter exhaust.

This example is VIN: 934879. The seller “bought it from a dealer in Pennsylvania back in April 2021. I bought it for inventory, but I have two of them. This one and a restored one. I’m selling this one to reduce inventory in the shop.”

The odometer shows 7,516 miles. During his ownership, the seller has covered roughly 15 miles.

Maintenance:
The seller has not performed any maintenance beyond installing a battery. “Which I keep on a tender but disconnected, and I drain the fuel from the carburetor when not in use.” He adds that “everything works. Tires are very old but not rotted.”

Modifications:
According to the seller, the bike is stock.

Inside of the tank:

Cosmetic Blemishes:
The seller jokingly says, “All of them! Shows 65 years of age.”

Please Note:
Florida law requires the payment of sales tax from all persons making purchases from businesses in Florida. This includes out of state residents purchasing motor vehicles in Florida from motor vehicle dealers.

There are two exceptions: (1) purchases made by licensed resellers/dealers with copies of the dealer’s license and tax certificate provided to us at the time of sale, or (2) where we consign and ship the motorcycle to the buyer (i.e interstate commerce). Dealer purchases will be reassigned to the named licensed dealer and not to any personal account.

In most cases and pursuant to existing interstate agreements, purchaser will receive credit for any taxes paid to Florida. For more information please see this Tax Information Publication (TIP) from the Florida Department of Revenue.

Florida further allows tax abatement, i.e. a reduced tax rate, where the purchaser completes Form DR-123 and provides a notarized copy of the same to the seller at the time of sale. In such cases, the tax may be reduced to the lesser of the Florida rate or the rate in the buyer’s home state, whichever is less.

We therefore will be collecting the Florida sales tax of 6% on all purchases except those by licensed dealers having provided current copies of the dealer license and tax resale certificate to us at time of sale, or on products shipped by us to the buyer in the buyer’s home state. We will apply or refund any tax abatement applicable for persons who have provided the completed Form DR-123 at time of sale. The abatement will be processed along with the paper and title work after the sale. Florida residents may further be subject to their county surtax, where applicable. This applies only to select counties where you might live, generally 0.5 to 1%.

We will process Florida title/tag for Florida residents or persons titling said vehicles for street use in Florida. This typically runs about $150-160 in Florida charges + sales tax for title transfers and registration of street bikes, less for OHV vehicles where customers require OHV titles and green stickers. We never charge extra dealer or bogus document fees.

We must strictly adhere to these policies. Feel free to call Bullpen Cycles [484-788-9550] with your questions. We’ll do our best to help.
