Montesa

/

Montesa motorcycles was formed in 1944 by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Xavier “Paco” Bultó. Their first Montesa prototype was based upon the French Motobécane models of that time. Permanyer began to produce his own gas engines, which allowed for a new area in motorcycles to be explored and expanded into. Montesa only sent a small percentage of its production to the States, concentrating mostly on the European market.
