Minsk - officially MMVZ - Minsk Moto Velo Zavad.
The Belarus factory was originally built by the Germans in 1945 during the Nazi occupation. Their first machine, M1A, was a 125cc copy of the German "Deek" DKW RT125, just like the Bantam etc.
These bikes might look dated and unfashionable but they're simple and easy to fix and I have a soft spot for them.
