1957 MOTOM 60S at Ebay
Vehicle Description
I am offering for sale an interesting MOTOM 60S that has been part of my 20 year collection of Italian motorcycles in Los Angeles. This model is a fairly rare derivation of the more common MOTOM 48 moped. The original 48 came with
pedals which classifies it as a moped. The 60S was made as a proper little motorcycle and for some weird reason, known only to the factory engineers, had the cubic capacity increased to 51cc. This was done by fitting a different and quite
bigger cylinder and thereby calling it the 60S , although the engine capacity actually works out to 51cc.
Overhead valve 4 stroke. 3 speed foot change. A proper little "Thumper" in good running condition once you have mastered the strange starting procedure! There are a few electrical glitches that I have not attempted to fix as I am hopeless with wiring. The aluminum chain case is cracked and poorly repaired (see photo) but this part is held on by 3 screws and Motom parts are still available in Italy. Sold new without speedo so actual mileage is unknown. Sold with Bill of Sale only...
