Motobécane presents the 500 on the basis of the block B with a cylinder head in cast iron 4 valves with two exits of exhaust at the living room of 1932 at the price of 5800 francs, capable of a speed of 105 to 130 km/h. To prove the reliability of the motorcycle, this one is engaged in the Bol d'Or of May 1932 with LOVINFOSSE as pilot who finishes first in the category 500 and is granted again this victory the following year with the same model. The 500 also won the Coupe de France in 1932.
This bike has been meticulously restored but could not be finished. There are still a few details to review and refine, including the electrics. This is a rare opportunity to obtain one of the jewels of French motorcycle history of which only a few examples remain.
