1948 Motobecane Motoconfort D45A, This four stroke lateral valve 125 single offers some unique features you wouldn't otherwise see from bikes of this age. This specific Motobécane was baptised the D45(A) being the first of the three models available. The (A) model offering riders a parallelogram front suspension opposed to the voluminous front forks and sliding rear suspension found on the (B) model and the later (S) luxury model which had added chrome. All models had the three-speed gearbox controlled by the right hand and a clutch lever that is found on the left-hand crankcase (Foot operated), although having a clutch lever where you would expect, this small lever was to promote young people and children to ride these small motorcycles!
