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:

  • A.150 1955 Villiers
  • Z.150 1955 Villiers
  • Z.201 1955 Villiers
  • A.201 1955 Villiers
  • L.201 1955 Villiers
  • S.250 1955 250cc JLO Twin
  • L.250 1955 250cc JLO Twin
  • After 1962 Salira built fuel heaters.

    The firm was associated with Lion Rapide
