Salira Motorcycles

Historical Snippet

Manufactured: Aalst, Belgium

From 1955 until the early 1960s Salira assembled machines using Villiers engines of 98cc to 197cc capacity. They also offered a simplified configuration of the Lion Rapide 250cc JLO twin with tank, wheel rims and exhaust painted rather than chromed, thus lowering the price by a few thousand Belgian francs.

Their advertisements used the motto "Salira, de Volksmoto aan Volkssprijzen"

Models include:

After 1962 Salira built fuel heaters.

The firm was associated with Lion Rapide
