When the Hong Leong Group, the Malaysian corporation that used to own the company, sold MZ to the actual owners, apparently they just sold the brand rights and not the actual intellectual propriety from the former company. In other words this group can create a new brand, rename the old bikes and keep selling those bikes without any problems, so in terms of technology, the actual MZ owned by Ralf Waldmann and Martin Wimmer is completely useless, but I hope they can recreate the former "glory" from the communist past, with or without small displacement Chinese bikes.
