I've have a friend with a Langen and it's not been a very good experience. It's been back at the factory for the majority of the time he has owned it and I believe he may be pursuing a full refund. It has never run properly, he used to race two strokes so knows what to expect and he's only ever been able to go out on it once in two years. They're fine if you only want to display them.

How can you get a two stroke wrong?

Even the Eastern Europeans were able to get them to work post-war!

Good question. It's been a horrible customer experience for him but at least it made me feel better about the issues I was having with my reasonable priced Triumph.

Why not give the rear tyre a quick wipe before taking the photos?

Erm, the East Germans pretty much invented the modern 2T
