After World War II War and political changes halted the development of the motorcycle industry in Hungary until 1947. That's when the first Tura 100 motorcycle appeared, which, despite its pre-war roots, was thoroughly modified. It was transformed from a motorized bicycle into a full-fledged motorcycle with a triangular frame, trapezoidal front suspension and an improved 100 cc engine. At that time, the team led by Aurel Jurek was working on the new Csepel 100 and 125 models with a 3-speed gearbox. A larger engine with a volume of 250 cm 3 was developed based on the model of the PUCH system, and in 1949, the Csepel 250/U motorcycle appeared together with the Csepel 125/49 model. A year later, the 125 model was equipped with a telescopic front fork and, from 1951, a sprung rear suspension. By 1955, approximately 50,000 of these motorcycles had been produced.
