Rumi 125 cm3 Super Sport 1953
Frame no. 13260
Engine no. 2.8004

Constructeur des sous-marins de poche et des torpilles pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, la firme dirigée par Donnino Rumi s'orienta vers la construction motocycliste après la fin de la guerre et présenta son premier modèle « Turismo » en 1950. Ce petit bijou était propulsé par ce que deviendrait la marque de fabrique de Rumi, un twin parallèle deux temps de 125 cm3 à cylindres horizontaux. Produit selon différents niveaux de puissance, ce moteur merveilleusement polyvalent équipa des modèles standard, sport et competizione. Mieux équipé et plus rapide que la version standard, ce Super Sport fut utilisé le dernier fois dans les années 1970. Importé d'Italie, la machine restaurée au niveau musée par Gösta Karlsson en Suède se présente dans un état superbe. Aucun document n'accompagne ce lot.

Frame no. 13260
Engine no. 2.8004.

Previously producers of miniature submarines and torpedoes in WW2, the firm headed by Donnino Rumi switched to motorcycle manufacture at the war's end, introducing is first 'Turismo' model in 1950. This little gem was powered by what would become Rumi's trademark engine, a 125cc parallel-twin two-stroke, the cylinders of which were inclined horizontally. Built in numerous different stages of tune, this wonderfully versatile motor was used to power standard, sport and competizione models. Better equipped and faster than the standard version, this Super Sport was last used in the 1970s. Imported from Italy, the machine has been restored to museum standard by Gösta Karlsson in Sweden and is presented in beautiful condition. There are no documents with this Lot.
