The "Puch 800" was the biggest motorcycle, which Puch built in its factory in Graz. Only 550 bikes were produced between 1936 and 1938 and only a few survived. Unfortunately I sold the bike later after restauration under a forced situation. It's a 170 degrees 4-cyclinder V-engine with side valves, 792 ccm and 20 PS, 4-speed gearbox and automatic manual gearshift. - scanned slides, Minolta X700

The bike was mostly original and complete, except the front fork and handlebar for instance. - scanned slides, Minolta X700
