French engineer, Patrick Barigault, started producing frames for Honda engines for motocross and enduro competition. Having gained experience with Honda powered machines, he subsequently went on to build bikes with Yamaha 500 engines. The Barigo machines had good results in various races, including the Paris-Dakar event. Success in his field encouraged Barigault to tender for a French Army contract to supply bikes to the military, which he subsequently won.
This particular Barigo is fitted with a Yamaha TT500G engine, has twin-shock rear suspension, drum brakes, Keihin carburettor and an aluminium fuel tank. It has been part of the collection for some time, appears to be unrestored, and will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
