Motobi is a marque almost unheard of in the United Kingdom. It was created by one of the Benelli brothers who set up a factory across the street following a family disagreement but was reunited with Benelli some 20 years later in the mid seventies. The machines are very distinctive with their famous 'Ovemotore' (egg engines).

Beautifully engineered, they achieved good racing successes in Italy and Chile (one of their few export markets) and several famous Italian racers started their careers on Motobis including one Giacomo Agostini!

I have about a dozen of these machines either restored or in the process of restoration (please click on images to the right).

I am interested in acquiring a 200cc Sprite preferably in black and white colour scheme to complete the collection!
