Overview[edit | edit source]
Sanglas 500 S2 V5
Sanglas was a Spanish producer for motorcycles. They
built motorcycles for the Spanish police and for the Irish army.
In 1977, Sunglas (a Spanish motorcycle producer)
launched the 500 S2, and two years later a five-speed gearbox version (the
500 S2 V5) appears on the market.
The business was never profitable the Sanglas brnd
was sold to the Spanish bank Banesto, with the aim of achieving capital
gains from the sale of the company to some Japanese manufacturer, seeking
for a local partner to penetrate the Spanish market. Finally, in 1981 the
SEMSA company is created, with participation of Yamaha, Banesto, Bank of
Madrid and Catalan Development Bank. 50% of the capital was originally in
the hands of Yamaha that, through several capital increases, eventually
achieved total control over the company.
The last Sanglas with own engine, the 500 S2 V5, was
discontinued in 1981.
