About "this engine is built to last" - I still remember article who I have read twenty or more years ago, which was transferred by a local automotive magazine.

German motorcycle magazine "Motorrad" conducted some sort of a survey among his readers, looking for a motorcycle that had the highest mileage. I think the first was some BMW boxer, with an really incredible mileage, and in the top 10, with several BMW's, I saw a pair of MZ ETZ's (or TS's - I don't remember). I was stunned - inexpensive and not so quality East German twostroker left far behind Japanese quartet.

If you are considering buying this blue ETZ, I want to remind you, in my opinion, of a MZ's beautiful, healthy exhaust sound.
