Description: Founded by Manuel Giró, an industrialist from Barcelona as Orpheo Sincronic Sociedad Anónima, the original OSSA company got its start in 1924 by making movie projectors for its home market in Spain. The company's four-leaf clover emblem wasn't actually a four-leaf clover and rather an escapement mechanism of a film projector. Before World War II, Giró was the Spanish sidecar racing national champion, along with his co-pilot, the future founder of Bultaco motorcycles, Francisco Bultó. In 1940 Giró changed the primary focus of his company to building racing motorcycles and after the war, he obtained superior two-stroke engine technology from the German DKW factory as war reparations and was mass-producing his two-stroke motorcycles by1949.
Description: Sachs Motors Corporation of Germany began making motorcycles in 1886, making them one of the world's oldest motorcycle manufacturers. They also designed and engineered their own engines, supplying them to manufacturers around the world. While their previous offerings had primarily been road going cycles and scooters, in 1968 they threw their hat into the popular motocross segment with an all new competition dirt bike. Although their 125 MX model was designed for motocross racing, the bike proved to be readily adaptable and an ideal trail bike for the enthusiastic novice. They quickly followed the success of their 125 MX with a larger 250 model, and between the two, Sachs began winning off-road races, much to the surprise of many.
