Overview
Overview
The products were allowed to continue the use of the well-known Maserati name and the company's trident trademark. The first Maserati motorcycles were the Tipo 125/T2, inspired by a DKW design, and the Tipo 160/T4, based on the Italmoto 160 tourer. Maserati motorcycles were produced in 125cc, 160cc, 175cc and 250cc models with two-stroke and four-stroke engine configurations. Maserati mopeds were offered in 50cc and 75cc versions. Production ended due to increased competition from other manufacturers (Moto Morini, MV Agusta, Benelli and Laverda), as well as financial troubles that had also hit the car manufacturer.
It is associated with Italy. The record gives 1947 as its date of establishment or first appearance. Activity is recorded as ending in 1960. Its recorded founders are Maserati. Its recorded seat is Modena. The recorded field of activity is motorcycle industry.
