"A simple, robust, and practical motorcycle model that was a popular means of transport in post-war Europe.

This example is presented in charming patinated condition and is best enjoyed just as it is. It does, however, require a new fuel tap, as the current one is sticking. The bike is fitted with older tires; if it is to be used more regularly, a tire replacement is recommended for safety reasons."

Beschreibung

The motorcycle was originally sold new in Stockholm, according to the plaque mounted on the fuel tank. Beyond that, not much is known about its early history. The current owner purchased it from an elderly gentleman in Dalarna. His goal was to repair the motorcycle while preserving its patina, rather than carrying out a full restoration — something we believe he has succeeded in doing.

Aside from a sticking fuel tap, the motorcycle is ready to start and enjoy at this summer’s classic vehicle meets. It was last ridden in the autumn of 2025. The most recent approved inspection was carried out on June 21, 2016. Under current Swedish historic vehicle regulations, it remains approved until further notice and is exempt from road tax.

The odometer reads 0 km, as the trip meter has stopped functioning. According to the owner, he has ridden approximately 500 km since 2012. He has now chosen to let Bilweb Auctions handle the sale, as he no longer has the time to use the motorcycle.

The round hole in the battery box is the result of a previous owner having installed a powerful car horn there — clearly someone who wanted to make sure he was heard when signaling.

This is a remote auction. The photographs were taken by an independent photographer with a strong interest in motorcycles, and all information regarding the bike and its technical condition has been provided by the owner. BWA has therefore not physically inspected the motorcycle on site.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    Single-cylinder, two-stroke engine of 244 cc, with a stated output of 11 horsepower.

    The current owner has dismantled and rebuilt the engine, fitting new bearings and clutch plates, and servicing the gearbox, etc. At the same time, an electronic (breakerless) ignition system was installed. It runs well and performs smoothly.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    Long bench seat in good condition.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    Patinated, well-used condition. The rear fender has some dents and is missing the Auto-Union badge. It is fitted with a newer tail light from an English motorcycle.

    The chrome on the tank and other brightwork shows surface rust — see photos. The aluminum parts have a slightly oxidized finish.

    The bike is equipped with older Värnamo tires, which are in unusually good condition for their age. There is a round hole in the battery box (see description for more information about this).

  • Zustand gesamt:

    Charming, patinated driver-condition.

Kommentar vom Besitzer

Jag köpte motorcykeln av en äldre herre i Dalarna. Den hade då ramlat ur bilregistret hos Transportstyrelsen och behövde registreras in igen. Detta tog lite tid. Jag fick söka i riksarkivet efter handlingar och få hjälp med intyg från Motorhistoriska Riksförbundet. 2012 registrerades motorcykeln åter in i bilregistret och kunde köras på väg igen. Under tiden som ärendet med registreringen pågick tog jag isär och renoverade motorn. Alla lager byttes, kopplingen renoverades med nya korklameller och även några slitna drev i växellådan. Kolv och cylinder kunde dock återanvändas. Avslutningsvis monterade jag ett brytarlöst tändsystem, samt bytte ut hela elsystemet.

Fakten zum Modell

The first RT 250 was presented in the autumn of 1951 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The earliest examples were built with a rigid frame from the RT 200 model, but only 23 such units were produced before full series production began.

The first production version of the RT 250 received the designation “H” (Hinterradfederung) to highlight its new telescopic rear suspension. The major innovation was that the rear suspension was designed as a telescopic system with progressive spring action. A strong coil spring absorbed impacts from the road, while a slightly softer spring absorbed rebound forces. Rubber buffers limited the maximum suspension travel to approximately 40 mm upward and downward to prevent the damper from bottoming out.

The RT 250 was equipped with a telescopic front fork carried over unchanged from the RT 200. The engine was a further development of the 200 cc unit, with the cylinder bored out to 244 cc.
