In 1924, Alphonse Tallet, Charles Benoît and Abel Bardin designed their first motorcycle, the MB1. Out of this comes the Motobécane, an undamped pendulum fork model equipped with a 175 cm3 twin-cylinder two-stroke engine with belt transmission. This very simple model will sell until 1929 and be sold alongside other small motorcycles. Motoconfort became a brand of Motobécane. It is also created in order not to jeopardize the new success of the company in case of sales failure. It was taken over by Yamaha in 1986.
This is an unusual 1926 French lightweight machine has been the subject of a restoration that stalled due to ill-health. There is further work still to be carried out on this machine and therefore it is sold as seen and viewed in person or as in the photographs. It comes complete with a V5C.
