Thomann Motorcycles

Made in France French Motorcycle Forum

Brief History of the Marque: Thomann
Made in France from 1921 to 1954 
Gentil et Cie
88 avenue Félix-Faure
NANTERRE (Seine) 

These machines were usually of 175cc capacity and used an elephant logo. The marque was not associated with Jean Thomann, nor with Alphonse Thomann. Eventually merged with Gentil. Some models had AMC engines.
They also built 100cc BMA machines -  Bicyclette à Moteur Auxiliaire - which were much cheaper to run as there was no registration fee. The company was acquired by Alcyon who continued to produce motorbikes under the Thomann marque.

I have acquired a 250cc two-stroke Thomann, titles as a 1927.  Runs well, and was restored in orange and grey. Has a typical 20's French tiny generator and lights. Brakes on rear only, but it is not so fast anyway.
