White Motorcycles

A Brief History of the Marque

White motorcycles were built for export to the USA at the Csepel Motor Works in Hungary until 1975.

Jack White contracted the Csepel Motor Works to build this unique motocrosser in 1965. White Motors, located in Santa Ana, California actually imported several different models of motorcycles which included 125 and 250cc machines for street, scrambles, and motocross.

Jack White died in 2012 at the age of 90.

Hi, I just wanted to send a small photo of these beautiful White twins (red and black). After 45 years spent in the US, they have arrived back home, to Budapest. They are in nice authentic condition, just waiting for some cleaning and polishing, and some little supplementary parts. Great examples of this rare make and model.

Hi, I am seeking for folks who have this same model. I am looking for pictures, brochures, other materials. Also, I can help folks out with parts, and, if anyone is about to sell a bike like this, please call me first! Thank you, and congratulations for the great site!

Thanks for the quick response. Attached please find a nice ad from the early sixties, advertising the Hungarian made White 250cc bikes in the US. These bikes are belonging to the Pannonia family, made at the giant Csepel steelworks until 1975. You also have some pics on your site of these bikes from some folks. I would like to get in contact with people un the US and/or Canada, who own these bikes, want to restorate them, looking for parts, and/or about to sell them.

Thanks and Best Regards
Emil

My White
1968 White 250 Shooting Star Super Sport
My 1968 White 250 is 99% restored and I need to know if anyone can tell me where I can find front fork seals. I have one in excellent condition and one that is shot. Any helpers?
Ontario, Canada.

If they are conventional seals they may have numbers on them which you can quote to your local bearing supplier. What numbers if any are on them? Ed. I have checked the seals, nothing, no numbers. Some good news though, a contact in Hungary thinks he may be able to track them down for me!
I have attached a photo taken today, when the seals are in and I can add the front forks it will look even better! You already have the before picture in the gallery.

Thanks

  • The dimensions of the seals will be sufficient for a professional bearing shop. You need the OD, ID, width and number of lips. Get the OD from the seal housing, the ID from the fork stanchion diameter, and use the width of the existing seal. The width of course is not critical, and often you can use two seals in place of one or vise versa.
