MotoBi History Includes model range.
I have dated your machine as circa 1956. Do you know the actual production date, or have your photos of the manufacturer's plate, engine no, frame no?
I believe one of the manuals listed under Benelli/Motobi on the RPW site may suit your purpose.

1950 Moto B
Motobi unknown
Hi, I recently purchased what I understand is a 1949 or 1950 Moto B. From what I am told it was Guiessepe Benelli's first model he made when he went out on his own. The bike is altogether and in what I believe to be original condition.
I am wondering if anyone out there has an information they could share on these types of bikes or have restoration stories or examples to share. Much appreciated.

Thanks.

lodola at t-online.de -- Germany
Just found a 60's Motobi for sale in a cycle shop. Perhaps can get it for $300. Supposed to run but needs restoration. Looks good. This is a small cycle or large scooter. Is it worth the outlay ? Parts available ? Looks very
good and not rusty. I don't know a thing about Motobi. Are they collectable ? Any Real Value ? Is a more common make a better value ?
Thanks, Randy -- crosley at portland.quik dot com
MotoBi did make some scooters, but their production was mostly motorcycles. Cosmopolitan Motors can still supply some parts, and they do have manuals, and I host the Benelli-MotoBi email list. Whether they are worth collecting or not is a
personal decision - it's all about what you like. I've got a number of them, and they do have some racing history. You can see some pictures of race and street MotoBis on my website's graphics pages.
cheers,
Michael

I have read with interest the page on the Itom. I am the Editor and Press Secretary of the UK based Racing 50 Enthusiast Club. We specialize in racing 50cc motorcycles of the Classic period from the mid 1950s to 1974. At present we can have on the start line ITOMs, Minarellis, Kreidlers, NSU, Garelli, Motobi etc. They either race competitively or Parade.
I have #1 1967 Mk VIII and a 1971 Mk IX Itom, a Spondon Minarelli 50cc racer and a 3speed hand change MOTOBI 50cc racer. All of these racers are undergoing preparation for the new season but when complete I will send photos and information. I have information on the ITOM models and would be happy to answer questions, knowledge and information allowing for readers of this page.
If any reader wishes to join the club (we have members in Canada, USA, Holland, France, Australia and Italy) please ask them to send me an email to confirm interest.

Hi everyone,
I've just started an email list for the Benelli and MotoBi marques. After a little testing and fine tuning this morning the list seems to be up an running OK, so I'm letting everyone know that it is available.
To subscribe you'll send your message to:
majordomo at list.sirius.com
The list has both individual and digest (accumulation of messages issued as one message) modes, so the body of the message will read either:
subscribe benelli-motobi youremailaddresshere
or
subscribe benelli-motobi-digest youremailaddresshere
depending on which version you want.
As with my other 6 lists, I'll be keeping the new list closed to non-member posts which has proven to be effective in keeping the spammers out. I'll be letting Carl Paukstis know about the list so he can include it in the November
issue of the mailing list roundup.
Cheers,
