The Berneg Construzione Meccaniche plant was located at Via Poretane
in Bologna. A town which housed numerous motorcycle factories and
where Ducati seems to be the sole survivor up till now.
The factory originated in 1954 and made parts only for nearly all existing
Italian motorcycle manufacturers in those days. From mudguards to
petrol tanks, from chain guards to complete frames.
At the end of the fifties plant manager engineer Paride Bernardi wanted
to construct a complete motorcycle and in 1959 an eye-striking beautifully
designed technically refined vertical chain-driven sohc twin, which produced
11 hp at 8000 rpm, was launched: the 160cc 'Fario' designed by engineer
Alfonso Drusiani who also designed for FB/Mondial. In 1960 an enlarged
version the 175cc 15 hp 'Fario' Sport became Bernegs top model.
However due to growing malfunctions in daily use, sales soon dropped
down to a minimum which caused the company to stop motor bike production
in 1961 and in 1962 the remaining stock was sold out.
