MOTOBECANE LT1
Motobecane LT1 NON RUNNER
Amazing miniscule 125 twin
Only one in the UK - who knows but have you ever seen another
NON RUNNER - needs electrical work - a few parts missing
This machine
What have we here? ... A super little French fancy. 125 twin two stroke, probably the only one in the UK, it was acquired by MIS at auction but frankly we don't have the time to get it sorted so have decided to let it go. Appears to be complete but is missing some electrical components
Very small, but beautifully formed this is a great little bike for any collector.
Auction summary :
Motobécane was a French manufacturer of bikes, motorbikes and other small vehicles, established in 1923. "Motobécane" is a compound of "moto", short for motorcycle; "bécane" is slang for "bike." For many years Motobécane was France's largest manufacturer of motorcycles. Like many European motorcycle manufacturers, the 1960s proved difficult for Motobécane as cars became affordable. As a result, sales decreased. The arrival of cheap, efficient Japanese motorcycles also hurt sales. They continued to produce two-cylinder 125cc motorcycles throughout the 1970s.
Part of a private collection of machines, this LT1 is a rare survivor today, in the UK. Restored a few years ago it has not been used much since. It is offered complete with a current V5C.
NOTE THIS BIKE IS A NON RUNNER AND WILL REQUIRE THE SOURCING OF SOME ELECTRICAL PARTS
