The transformation of motorcycles is certainly a fun hobby. Whether they are scooters, vespas or GS 1300s, each project tells a story. In this case, the preparer of the Simson S 51 in question not only wanted to turn a small 50cc motorcycle upside down, but also wanted to create something very fast and definitely radical.
The Simson S 51 is the successor of the Simson S 50, the most produced small motorcycle in Germany. It was produced between 1980 and 1991 and – both series – had more than 1.6 million units produced. Being a 50 cc, do not expect an exorbitant power: the Simson S 51 delivers 3.7 hp as standard, but now comes the best part.
To handle the additional power, Möckel improved his Simson’s frame with reinforced components from PZ-Tuning, Öhlins suspension and steering damper. The fork was designed for a Ducati Panigale.
Brembo brakes and spoked wheels from Ronge Motorsport, equipped with Heidenau K63 tires, complete the set. The weight is only 80 kg.
Other modifications include Kellermann turn signals, LSL aluminum handlebar, and Koso instrumentation with adjustable shift light. Curious about the top speed? Möckel, the owner, is cautious about pushing it to the limit, but it is presumed that this Simson can reach about 150 km/h.
