Overview[edit | edit source]
NSU 501 OSL and TS
The ultra-modern saddle tank and 19-inch high-pressure tires
gave this motorcycle a new appearance. As a typical German utility motorcycle
that was economical, undemanding and yet robust, the TS model series remained a
successful item in the NSU range for twelve years. The segment gearshift located
on the right of the tank contributed to the absolute improvement in ride
comfort.
