The Bologna factory began manufacture of 49cc lightweights in 1951 with
Sachs

49cc two-strokes. They also built a 147cc Sachs engined motorcycle to extend
their range of mopeds, mofas and miniscooters.

Les Gitane de mon pere.
La Gitane Testi Champion Super, née en Italie, fera rêver
la jeunesse française des années 1970, grâce à
sa ligne racée et à sa conception digne d'une véritable
moto. Mais la marque Gitane a une histoire ! Créée en 1928
par Marcel Brunelière, elle va asseoir sa réputation sur
une production de cycles de qualité, suivie par un fort développement
de l'entreprise avec l'apparition, dans les années 1950, d'une large
gamme de cyclomoteurs et motocyclettes. La petite reine se fera remarquer
également par ses exploits sportifs. Jacques Anquetil, Lucien Aimar,
Lucien Van Impe, Bernard Hinault et Laurent Fignon remporteront dix fois
le Tour de France au guidon de vélos Gitane. Championnats du monde,
record de vitesse à plus de 200 km/h, rien n'arrête la Gitane.
Retrouvez, dans ce livre, une présentation exhaustive des "motorisés",
un aperçu de la variété de production de bicyclettes
et une évocation des principaux succès sportifs décrochés
au guidon de vélos Gitane.
Robotrans:
The Gitane Testi Super Champion, made in Italy, was the
dream of French youth in the 1970s thanks to its racy lines and its design
worthy of a genuine motorcycle. But the Gitane mark has a history! Created
in 1928 by Marcel Brunelière, it will sit its reputation on a production
of quality cycles, followed by a strong development of the company with
the appearance, in the years 1950, of a broad range of auto-cycles and
motor cycles. The small queen will point out herself also by her sporting
exploits. Jacques Anquetil, Lucien Aimar, Lucien Van Impe, Bernard Hinault
and Laurent Fignon will gain ten times the Turn of France to the handlebar
of gipsy bicycles. Championships of the world, record from speed to more
than 200 km/h, nothing stops the Gipsy. Find, in this book, an exhaustive
presentation of "motorized", an outline of the variety of production of
bicycles and an evocation of the principal sporting successes taken down
with the handlebar of Gitane cycles.

Best Regard
Staffan
If there are any numbers on the tail light
they would prove helpful, along with the brand - CEV? Also any information
you have on the speedometer and drive - Veglia?On tail light lens it stands:
Aprilia IGM 2073 LP,on the circular part on the lens it standsAprilia
IGM 2860 C2 also 036825.
About the speedmeter I dont know.The diameter should be 52mm for the
instument and the "wheelgear" must be rather big to fit.Is it some figures

I remember seeing Testi motorcycles only once, when a local shop in
Long Beach California had them for sale for a very short time in the early
1960's. My friend, Dick Hewitt, who went with me to look at them just for
fun (we were Triumph riders at the time) immediately came up with an advertising
slogan for them that I never forgot....."Ride the Testi-It's a ball"!!!

Some years ago in 1975, at age of 16, I was looking for a little motorcycle
here in Austria. There were a lot of Puch (of course) Zündapp, Hercules,
Ktm, some Kreidler but they all looked like "Mopeds". Then, at hollydays
with my parents in Italy I saw al little racebike called TESTI. It looked
like a real little motorbike an I loved it at first sight. We had lovely
yerars together - and we still have! After 24 years I know her very well,
my little Testi with its 50 ccm Minarelli engine ......

In 1976 I bought a nice little Italian motorbike, a Testi Campion Speciale,
with a 50cc Motori Minarelli P6 engine. I still own the Testi - but through
the years I lost some of important parts I would need for a total restoration.
If anybody knows Testi and maybe has any parts, please e-mail me.

In 1976 I bought al little race bike in Italy, called Testi Super P6
(also: Championveloce). The engine was a Motori Minarelli P6 Compact System
an it was a really fast bike. Maybe you are interested in the Page of an
old Catalogue showing the different models.
