Thomann's story began in 1908 when brothers Alphonse and Jean Thomann founded Thomann et Cie, initially as a bicycle manufacturer in Suresnes, France. Their combined vision and skill laid the foundation for what would become a significant chapter in motorcycle history. In 1911, a dispute culminated in the dissolution of the original company. The aftermath saw Jean Thomann establishing a new company in 1920, distinctively marked by the use of a gorilla in its logo, in contrast to the original Thomann's elephant emblem. The original Thomann company, post-dispute, was sold to Edmond Gentil. Under Gentil's leadership, Thomann continued to flourish and, in 1919, became part of the Alcyon group. This merger was a significant step, as it expanded Thomann's reach and resources, allowing for greater innovation and development.

This 1925 Thomann Super Sport was purchased by the vendor as it was something a bit different for his collection of motorcycles in 2018. The history of the machine is not known, but the machine was restored to a good standard and has not been used much since its completion. A rare model today with only a few known to exist, it comes complete with a current V5C. Some recommissioning may be required before use.
