Devil Ocma 160cc - 1955

Motore monocilindrico 2 tempi, raffreddato ad aria

Ferma da tempo, conservata in collezione privata

Motore libero

Radiata d'ufficio

Spese di passaggio o export non incluse

Cenni storici:

La O.C.M.A. – Devil, fabbrica metalmeccanica di Fiorano al Serio, vicino Bergamo, Italia, era attiva sul mercato già prima della seconda guerra mondiale.
La Devil fu un’autentica meteora nel mondo delle due ruote; nacque e morì nel giro di soli quattro anni.
E’ difficile sapere con certezza perché la Devil scomparve così rapidamente, la causa potrebbe essere quel motore a due tempi da 160 cc, così simile, forse un po’ troppo, al motore MV Agusta 150cc
Anche il 175cc a 4 tempi aveva il basamento molto simile a quello della Parilla, e anche questa strana circostanza contribuisce ad alimentare la leggenda.
Si dice che questa eccessiva somiglianza diede l’opportunità alla Devil di produrre sin da subito moto efficienti e competitive, saltando la fase dello studio e della progettazione, ma le creò più di un problema successivamente quando cominciarono a fioccare le cause di risarcimento danni.
In effetti la Devil, messa alle strette dalle concorrenti, dovette subire pesanti guai economici.
Sotto il peso dei debiti la Officina Costruzioni A. Martinelli – Devil chiuse i battenti nel 1957.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
