Founded by Edoardo Po in Modena, Italy in 1961, Romeo manufactured mopeds and lightweight motorcycles powered mainly by engines supplied by Motori Minarelli. From only three models in 1961 the range expanded greatly during the 1960s. In 1970 a new tubular steel double-cradle frame was introduced on two of three new models: the Monster sports roadster and Scorpion enduro, while the Pedrito featured an open step-thru type frame and 10" wheels. Demand for these new Romeos both at home and abroad was so strong that the company had to introduce a night shift to cope. In the 1970s a new production facility was built and the brand name changed to 'Motrone'. Motrone production was later shifted abroad.
An Italian motorcycle rarely seen in the UK, this Romeo Monster is powered y the Minarelli P6 six-speed engine unit. The Romeo was first registered in the UK on 1st June 2023 and has had one former keeper in this country. Unfortunately, nothing is known of its past history or condition. Purchased recently by the vendor, the Romeo has not been started and will require recommissioning before further use (the engine turns over). The machine comes with a V5C document and is sold strictly as viewed.
