Dear Sir: I am looking for a byke from the end of 1950 and middle of 1960 black one, 2 stroke two cylinders two exhausts going up and both sides of the seat with stainless steel protection, I think it was 200 cc or more, very beatiful machine and very low. I remember the fuel tank big one and the mark MAMMUT or similar. I was very fast!!! Can you help me? Thanks you.

This is a touring bike as well as being bloody quick ( the original was anyway ) You don’t want modern fat tyres you’d fine on a street screecher. You need the slimmer tyres for those long trips

I’ve seen two or three Mammuts in person over the years and I’d say the workmanship on the replica looks better than that on the original. Never the less, it’s difficult in these times to appreciate how astounding the Mammut appeared to be in the middle to late 1960s. Sort of the “Boss Hoss” of it’s day.

Paul, I have an orginal photo of one of the last Munchs ever made, a Munch Titan. Interested?

Sorry, I didn’t clarify. The models following this one had disc brakes. You are quite right; this one has the earlier alloy TLS brakes.

Disc brakes? Looks like massive drums to me.
