The twin cylinder Capriolo Cento 50, designed and manufactured by Aero Caproni of Trento, was presented at the international fair of the cycle and motorcycle of Milan in 1953.
The 150cc horizontally opposed transverse flat twin (boxer) engine delivered 8 horsepower at 6000 rpm to the final drive via chain and was the only example of such a small engine in the motorcycle engineering world. German influence on the frame design is quite apparent.
The Cento 50 was produced until 1956 and fewer than 500 examples left the factory.
Due to its rarity, originality, unusual technical characteristics and refined construction, this is one of the most appreciated and sought after 1950s Italian motorcycles of this class.
