Balkan was the first motorcycle built in Bulgaria.[1] The first model, the Balkan M1, released in 1957, was built under the open license of DKW, and was identical to the DKW RT250. In 1960 the company started using a design similar to Jawa, and other contemporary motorcycles.

BALKAN, National Motorcycle Works, Levec. BG 1958 to date. The "Balkan" is the first motorcycle built in Bulgaria. It is a product of the Number 12 factory and has a 250-c.c. engine in a pressed steel frame; not dissimilar to the popular Czechoslovakian Jawa. A 50-c.c. moped is -- since 1960 -- also among the "Balkan" products.
