Title: New-Map type F.S 1935.
Post by: Nomi on January 24, 2010, 02:06:10 PM

Hello again,

I have buying a new motorbike, exactly a "BMA", "Bicyclette à Moteur Auxiliaire", with a 100cc engine, two speeds, 55-60 km/h, 30 kilograms. It's a Fitchel & Sachs engine, to Germany. But the bike is a "New-Map", a Lyon Make, in south of France.

Here is the photographs:

This is an advertisment... the 100cc New-Map of 1933 (mine is in red):

A stylish little machine. Ideal for going to the shops on.

Sachs engines have always had a good reputation and probably easier to find spares than for a pre-war Aubier as long as you don't mind looking in Germany.

Yes she's very funny and smart!  ;)

She can serve to do pre-war rallies or meeting... the Fitchel & Sachs engine is very solid, and spares are really easy to find. For an Aubier & Dumne Engine, it's difficult, even in France, there are not common!

It will be an easy repaired  :)
