The JJ Cobas firm was acquired by Tecom SA and was renamed Kobas in 1982. Both marques are associated with that of Siroko.(1)
Kobas continued to build road-racing motorcycles powered by Rotax engines, and competed in the 1983 250cc GP championship with Sito Pons, Carlos Cardus and Luis Miguel Reyes.
1984 brought international recognition when Sito Pons took the Kobas to 4th place in the 250 GP. Angelo Nieto also rode one that year.
Production ceased in 1984.
N.B. The relationship between Kobas and Siroko is unclear, various pages giving conflicting information. The JJ Cobas name re-appeared on a Rotax roadracer in the 1990s. (Dec 2018).
