The Moto Rumi organisation was formed at the beginning of the twentieth century and originally supplied cast components to the textile machinery industry and armaments. Rumi decided to get involved in the manufacture of lightweight motorcycles post WWII. It was also decided to base the powerplant on the horizontal twin two-stroke unit of 125 cc capacity. The first model was called the Rumi Turismo, introduced at the Milan show in early 1950. The engine was a two-stroke parallel twin with the cylinders pointing straight forward; the cooling potential for that cylinder placement was excellent. The crankshaft had roller bearings at each end and full-circle flywheels worthy of the job. Cylinder barrels were iron, with aluminium heads. This Moto Rumi Super Sport has been fully restored to a show-winning standard and has minimal use since then. It has come from a dedicated Moto Rumi collector (Mike Webster). This is a rare model in the UK today, and in this quality, seen here. A rare machine, it comes from 45 years in its current ownership.

This Moto Rumi Junior Gentleman has formed part of a collection of Rumis, owned by Mike Webster, a Moto Rumi and Scooter Expert. The machine has been restored to a high quality and not used much since. It comes complete with a current V5C.
