Imports of Condamine St, Balgowlah, NSW. They had the bike tested in REVS on May 14, 1971 and advertised in REVS October 1971, as ‘The Fabulous 6

Day Trial Model’ available for $790. Then REVS ran a feature on all the MZ models in November 1971. Later in the Australian Popular Motorcy

cling Fortnightl­y in a feature of all manufactur­ers, July 1972, the ISDT MZ was announced as $890. The Press photo that appeared in USA Motorcycli­st magazine’s 1972 ‘Motorcycle Buyers Guide’ was different to the ones I bought from Don Ince with a price tag of the ISDT model at $995. A nice mark up. The caption read: ‘SIX DAYS 250/ is the enduro rider’s desire. Wide-range 243cc powerplant, combinatio­n tank bag and map case, reliable lighting system, full dual ignition setup and 10 inches of ground clearance.’
