Working on the forth Puch (150TL) to be restored, the restoration wil not be described in English however you can view the pictures of the proces restoration Puch 150TL

Three Puch cycles are fully restored (1 x Puch 125SVS), (1 x puch SR150 scooter), (1 Puch 250SGS) the forth Puch 250TF is being restored at this moment
Again I am too lazy to describe the restoration in English so please refer to restoration puch 125SVS, restoration puch SR150, restoration puch 250SGS, restoration Puch 250TF Mark and restauration 150TL to view the pictures of the restoration.

Why do we like the Puch motor cycle so much ?
The main reason I like the Puch motor cycle is because she is small strong and drives excellent and also because I like the two stroke simplicity of the engine. After I once bought the first Puch 175SV I was hooked after the first longer ride. For that reason I bought a second bigger one the 250SG. The 175SV have been fully restored and I drove her for more then 6 years without any problem, not even any maintenance.

After that time the 175 needed some work and for that reason I bought the second 175SV (the third Puch). I wanted the second SV to be use for spare parts. However the second Puch has been fixed completely with parts from the first one. Due to my divorce I rather used the second instead of the first.

It took me some time to have the new SV fixed but 2006 she was ready for use. Ineke and I are member of the Puch Club Nederland and we drive mostly with that club and off course we then use the Puch. On an evening we found the 125SVS which needed to be completely restored and from that time we broke loose. I decided I wanted to have more Puch's and minimal one Puch Scooter. In three months time we bought a 150TL, in good shape, Puch Scooter 150 SR need to be restored and a 250TF in good shape.

And too bad we also found a Puch scooter 125RLA not too nice looking but technically in perfect condition. After some cleaning of the gas tank and gas lines, this scooter is now running perfectly.

The Puch family is extended in 2008 with Puch 200 Volksmotor and finally with the Puch 250 S4 both from late 1930. The blue angle 175SV is traded for the 200 and some extra payment from my side. The SG250 is fitted with a side car (Steib LS200) due to the fact Ineke wanted to drive with a side car and the Guzzi she found to big.

The last model post war we did not have was the puch 125 this one we now have. Although she is from 1940 I consider her as being post war due to the fact she came on the market after the war as civil bike.

As latest the DKW is traded for a 175 SV again.

Again the Puch family gave birth to two other bikes. The BMW R60/7 is traded for a Puch 250SG Solo again and a Puch 175SV. Both are running well.

We now have in total too many bikes running from 98 cc up to 1000 cc of which the following Puch's:
1 x Puch 250SG with Steib side car, 1 x Puch 250SG Solo, 3 x Puch 175SV, 1 x Puch 125SVS, 1 x 150TL, 1 x 150SR (motor scooter), 1 x 250TF, 1 x 125RLA (motor scooter), 1 x 200 Volksmotor, 1 x 250 S4 and the Puch 125.
I am sure that the Puch is the funniest old-timer of the fifties.
If you agree or disagree I don't mind.

Although the fact I like the Puch very much I sold and traded a few I trade the Red SGS, the 150TL and the red SV175 for the Ural M72 side car and I sold the two scooter bikes 125RLA and SR150, the 200 and the S4 and the black SV175, I now have left the 250SG with the Steib LS200, the 250SG built to SGS, the 125 and the TF
