This isn't a prototype apparently a short lived higher end production bike for its time. Had many neat accessories. Link to comment
mike wilson Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Weird. Twin exhausts, saddle tank, well rim tyres, drum brakes, slopnig engine and electric lights place it around 1930 but ungated gearlever is much earlier. Proprietary gearbox and engine. Could be one of thousands of manufacturers. I'll just take the wildest guess at Imperia, date 1929. Model is very odd, as it has "touring" accoutrements (wide tyres, decent mudguards) but an unsilenced exhaust. I'll plump for "sports" model. Link to comment
mdude Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 its killing me, this. DeBen is going to get me sacked It looks a lot like the Motosacoche bikes of 1933-35 except for the exhaust (whoc might be special), and the tilted engine. I havent seen one bike with a tilted MAG-engine like this since lunch, except a race special from 1928. Also some of the Condor bikes is similar...like the Grand Sport of 1931... The engine must be the Sport Luxe engine, which seems to be the lates model., pointing to a date later than 1930... Link to comment

That dinky little toolbox on the back should be a stylistic giveaway but, again, no sign of anything like it so far. m Link to comment

Its a little more rare than a Motosacoche It is just using their engine similar to say Ural I assume(I hope I didn't give too much away ), and I did say they were a little ahead of and Higher line for their time. You ppl are getting close. I'm becoming worried. Link to comment
DeBenGuzzi Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 different view of a slightly later bike but almost the same. Link to comment
