2004
2004 Fratelli Boselli) was a motorcycle manufacturer from Milan,
Italy between 1948 and 1979, known for its Grand Prix motorcycle racing
successes during the 1950s. Prior to World War II, it manufactured delivery
tricycles. The firm produced some of the most advanced and successful Grand
Prix road racers of the time, winning 5 World Championships. Mondial was established by Count Giuseppe Bosselli in Milan
who recognised the need for economical transport to assist Italy in
recovering from the ravages of the Second World War. In common with Count
Domenico Agusta he realised that the best and quickest way of establishing
his new enterprise in the minds of potential buyers was through competition,
consequently the first machine to appear bearing the soon to be famous FB
Mondial tank badge was a twin cam 125cc racing motorcycle. Campaigned during
1948 with considerable success the new machine went on to win the 1949 125cc
World Championship.
After the 1957 Grand Prix season, the major Italian
motorcycle manufacturers including Gilera, Moto Guzzi, MV Agusta and Mondial
announced that they would pull out of Grand Prix competition citing
increasing costs and diminishing sales (MV Agusta later reconsidered and
continued racing).Mondial had prepared a bike with desmodromic valve
actuation (before Ducati) but did not produce it. The company introduced their first production roadsters in
1950, utilising 125cc pushrod engines displaying features inherited from the
GP machine in their design and establishing a pattern that would see
subsequent production machines benefiting from the firms success on the
track. The Mondial marque was resurrected in 1999, when newspaper
printing and lithography magnate Roberto Ziletti, of Lastra Group SpA,
purchased the trademark and manufacturing rights from Count Giuseppe
Boselli's heirs.
