Villa Racing Motorcycles
Villa 125 Single-cylinder 1969 By the end of 1968 Francesco Villa was one of the best-known
Italian racers in international motorcycle racing. He was also the best-prepared
Italian technician in the challenging two-stroke field. The first product of the Villa factory was a 125 Grand Prix
racer with a two-stroke, single-cylinder water-cooled engine. It was offered for
sale at the beginning of 1969 and brought 950,000 Italian lire, with some spare
parts thrown in. (At the time that was about $1,500.) The Villa 125 single-cylinder was an immediate success with the best racers in its class. Francesco's brother Walter Villa, Giuseppe Man-dolini, and Otello Buscherini won several Italian races with the motorcycle, and Buscherini and the German Scheimann almost won the 1970 West German Grand Prix with it. Motorcycle: Villa 125 Single-cylinder Manufacturer:
Motociclette Villa, Modena Type: Racing Year: 1969 Villa 125 Two-cylinder 1971
After the success of his single-cylinder two-shaft
rotating-disk 125 and 250 racers, Francesco Villa decided to continue
manufacturing motorcycles. The four-cylinder version was set back by the new
international regulations, and its only race appearance was at the 1969 Italian
Grand Prix trials. Motorcycle: Villa 125 Two-cylinder Manufacturer: Motociclette
Villa, Modena Type: Racing Year: 1971 Villa V4 GP Replica 1969
The original Moto Villa 250cc V4 was built in 1968 by Francesco Villa. The FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) changed the 250 class regulations to a maximum of two cylinders for 1969, sadly this bike never got a chance to race at GP level.
