Hello Sheldon.
Yes I do live in Portugal.
So here goes the list that you ask for.
Casal- in
the present it's still the biggest constructor. The engines that they build
are two stroke with 50cc and a few 125cc for motorcross bikes. Motorcycles
with 2, 4, 5 and 6 gears. Casal is in recession now, and it's going
to be hard to survive.
AJP - It's the latest Portuguese builder.
In the present moment they only build motorcross motorcycles, with 50cc
Casal engines with 9.3hp, and 125 cc with casal engines 27hp The
AJP are going to be sold in Spain, France, Italy and Austria. They
have contacts with the Maico to build together a four stroke engine.

Famel Zundapp. Zundapp is a German constructor
but they use to build here 50cc engines two stroke. It closed 3 years
ago.

SIS Sachs. Another German constructor. They
used to built here engines with 50cc two stroke. It closed 4 years
ago too.
Macal Minarelli.
The Italian constructor has built here a factory too, but like the others
it has serious financial problems.
As you can see we were a considerable market, but now the kids only
want the Japanese stuff. I used to drive a Casal boss 50cc. And it still
runs. What about Maico, does the factory still produce motorcycles?

Maico is surely an interesting motorcycle. It shall be interesting
to see > what they come up with next.
Do you live in Portugal? Do you have a list of Portuguese motorcycle
manufacturers. That is one country that is missing from my lists
at the European Motorcycle Universe. I would love to add a listing of Portuguese
motorcycles along with all the other ones.

The first time that I wrote about Maico was when the Portuguese "AJP"
was thinking to buy them a new engine for their new motorcycle. Looking
at Maico a few years ago for sure the new engine it's going to be something
spectacular.
