Jamathi
Jan at roden speaks about Jamata. It is Jamathi from Nederhorst den
Berg. The most famous 50cc racing bikes from Holland which numerous Grand
Prix wins TT Assen for one. Aalt Toersen was second in the worldchampionship
in 1970. Paul Lodewijkx was second in 1968. Constructors were Jan Thiel
and Martin Mijwaart. They later on went to work for Piovaticci, Bultaco,
Minarelli and Garelli. With the last three marks they had lots of succes.
3 titles for Bultaco 50cc, 2 for Minarelli, 4 for Garelli. Martin Mijwaart
has sadly passed away and Jan Thiel is working for Aprilia.
Jamathi only made one type of moped for the road, which was not a succes,
although it was a beautiful bike.
