Maserati

1954 Maserati 160

Maserati motorcycles were made by Maserati Candele and Accumulatori (Maserati spark plugs and batteries) of Modena. Although owned by the same parent company that also ran the automobile plant, the motorcycle division was completely separate. The company became instant manufacturers by buying an existing factor, Italmoto, and moving it from Bologna to Modena.
