This motorcycle is worth almost as much for what it is as for the exceptional documentation that has accompanied it since it left the factory: letters, manuals and brochures, some of them very old, which contribute to its history and constitute a rare collection to which the amateur historian cannot remain insensitive. These documents even include its 1919 "Ceraficato di idoneita" (certificate of circulation). In 1970, this machine belonged to a Mr. Faglioni, from Modena, who wished to service it. Motosacoche was founded in Geneva on the initiative of Henri and Gaston Dufaux, and bears the name of its original idea: a removable motor that could be installed in a bicycle frame. The range then evolved with carefully crafted models and sporty derivatives that won renown in racing. With its inter-tube tank, V-twin and belt drive, this bike is one of the brand's oldest models, giving it the charm of originality and rarity.
