Please note: The seller is managing the sale of this collection on behalf of the owner’s estate. He has represented each bike to the best of his ability and will be unable to provide further history or supporting documentation. The bike does not currently run and the seller cannot confirm mechanical condition. He has provided a walk around video and is selling the bike as-is. A local dealership will be providing the Bill of Sale; all fees (with the exception of Iconic’s buyer’s fee) and taxes will be accounted for by the dealer.
Caproni-Vizzola was a subsidiary of Aero-Caproni who produced small motorcycles with NSU engines ranging in size from 98cc to 247cc. The partnership was short lived and models of this collaboration were only produced from 1953 to 1959 before MV Agusta took control of Caproni-Vizzola in 1960.
Founded in 1873, NSU was a German producer which began with knitting machines before expanding into bicycles, cars, and motorcycles. At one point in the 1950s the company was the largest motorcycle producer in the world before being acquired by Volkswagen in 1969. For a deep dive on the history of NSU check out a Cycle World write up from 1966 here.
