During WWII, the German Army employed the powerful motorcycle for messenger and reconnaissance missions. The KS600 is one of the best- known in the 600cc class, as it featured lightweight, rigid pressed steel frames, plus a horizontally opposed 2-cylinder 597cc engine and 4-speed transmission. It was often used with a sidecar. Production started in 1938, and KS600 saw action from early until late WWII.
