Ceccato Motorcycles

ceccato

Pietro Ceccato was a man of many talents - doctor, musician, motorcycle racer and an excellent businessman. The Ceccato factory in Montecchio Maggiore was established in the mid-30's, and built the first motorised bicycle, the Romeo with a 38cc engine shortly after the war, followed in 1948 by a machine with a 48c engine. Their first motorcycle appeared in 1951, a 75cc twostroke.

In 1953 they launched an advanced OHC roadster with an engine designed by Fabio Taglioni, designer of Ducati's desmodromic valve L-twins which are now in their fifth decade of production.

Ceccato-engined machines were manufactured in Argentina under the marque Zanella-Ceccato, and when Ceccato closed in the early 1960s Zanella bought their tooling.

    ello from the USA (New Jersey). I have this bike (see link) which I purchased over 15 years ago. I'm near the end of the restoration and am looking for a couple parts;

    1. A casing for the motor (a piece of the cast iron was broken off when I received the bike).

    2. The seat (somehow I lost the original seat a few years ago when I moved)

    Any chance you could direct me as to where I might be able to purchase these parts?

    Thank you.

    Ceccato Twinfiller
    Hello there. I have purchased the twinfiller that is pictured on your forum from Fred Beatty. I am just wondering if you have any information on the value of this bike? Also, do you know the purpose of the twinfiller tank? Any information about this bike or any pics you might have of a similar one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    • The page on Vintage Motorcycle Valuations may prove helpful. The twinfiller is purely cosmetic making the bike appear sportier, emulating some racing models of the day which had twin filler caps for faster pit stops.

    Cannot say whether you're related. The marque ceased manufacture in the 1960's. Ed.
