The seller offers for sale this 1954 Puch 125 RL, powered by a 121 cc single-cylinder engine. Finished in what the seller indicates is its original first paint, this charming Austrian lightweight presents with the authentic patina that collectors of unrestored machines seek out, and the odometer shows just 3,700 km. The seller reports that recent attention has been given to the running gear, with new tyres fitted front and rear and all cables renewed, and the motorcycle carries a valid Austrian inspection certificate until August 2027. Presented in good condition throughout, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire an early post-war Puch that has retained its factory finish rather than being repainted or restored.
The Puch 125 RL belongs to a celebrated chapter of Austrian motorcycling history. Built in Graz by Puch, a marque founded in 1899 and long renowned for its ingenious split-single two-stroke engines, the 125-series lightweights helped mobilise Austria in the years following the Second World War. Compact, economical and robust, these machines combined clever engineering with everyday practicality, and their distinctive character made them a familiar sight on Alpine roads throughout the 1950s. Today, early Puch lightweights are increasingly appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts, particularly examples that retain their original paint and period details, making this 125 RL an appealing entry into the world of classic Austrian motorcycles.
