Brief History of the Marque: Carabela
Assembled in Mexico from mainly Italian components for the US market
using Minarelli and Villa
engines.
Francisco A. Rosete writes:
The Carabela factory in Mexico city started making bikes around 1960
using Minarelli engines, 50 cc, 100 cc. Later, around 1966 they made complete
motorcycles, the engines were all two strokes of 66cc, 100cc, 125cc, 175cc,
200cc, 250cc, and there was a twin-cylinder 350 that was originally the
Jawa 350 with a improved suspension and larger heads.
I think Carabela has been purchased by Yamaha, and they no longer make
the Carabela bikes.
