- 1:03Do you remember? A K -Box production. Welcome
- 1:10to 70x80, the section of 7080 .it dedicated to
- 1:14the deepening of the topics discussed in the
- 1:16articles of the portal. We are with the director
- 1:18Massimo Lualdi who introduces the topic of today.
- 1:21What are we talking about today? Motorcycles.
- 1:23The shipyard of the Aspes was the main competitor
- 1:26of the caballero of the Fantic Motor, which presided,
- 1:30between the end of the 60s and the early 70s,
- 1:33the promising market of cross -cycle motors in
- 1:35Italy. The company was established in the 50s
- 1:38in Gallarate, Varese, to produce bicycles on
- 1:40the initiative of Teodosio Sorrentino, who decided
- 1:43to call it that by the abbreviation of the surname
- 1:45of his wife Maria. The consort was in fact the
- 1:48daughter of Pietro Aspesi, who in 1921 had started
- 1:51a bicycle re -sale in Cardano al Campo, Varese.
- 1:55Aspesi began in 1961 the commercialization of
- 1:58classic molded utility motor cycles, such as
- 2:01the Falco. Aspesi, you know that it derives from
- 2:04Aspesi, which was the surname of my mother, the
- 2:08grandfather. the father of my mother had a shop
- 2:11where they sold accessories for boats, etc. The
- 2:16target of the boys was consolidated in the mid
- 2:19-60s with the Sport models of 1964 and Sprint
- 2:24of 1966, driven by a two -stroke Minarelli P4.
- 2:28In 1967 the S model of the Aspes was interested
- 2:33in the evolution in Cross T, where T was for
- 2:37T. odosio questo fu il primo tentativo della
- 2:40aspes di colonizzare attraverso il prezzo competitivo
- 2:43di 220 mila lire il promettente mercato delle
- 2:46moto da fuoristrada o da cross come si diceva
- 2:49ai tempi dalle biciclette poi lentamente si sono
- 2:52passati i motorini il papà era stato concessionario
- 2:55della garelli improvvisamente poi quando arriva
- 2:59io 19 anni finito il liceo che avevo appena cominciato
- 3:04l 'università So, in short, the great passion
- 3:08for the motorcycle made us move violently. www
- 3:15.lexmcl .it of the super sport and above all
- 3:46starting a rather ambitious project for the realization
- 3:50of competition bikes able to well represent in
- 3:53the Italian championship unores of speed I remember
- 3:56well the first race that I started in the head
- 3:58I stayed in the head until almost the end then
- 4:01I slipped I don't remember if I won I did second
- 4:06but it was It was a good moment, also for ASPR,
- 4:11because winning or standing in front of the first
- 4:15race was interesting for sales, because the guys
- 4:20who bought the bikes looked at the beginning
- 4:23of the year. Here were the bikes that went a
- 4:25little better. On the wave of the first sporting
- 4:27successes obtained with the Cross Special 71
- 4:30model by Felice Agostini, the Aspes presented
- 4:33the Navajo at the 1971 Milan Motor Show. The
- 4:37latter was a cross -engine cycle that was a great
- 4:40success among the very young thanks to its pointed
- 4:43and essential superstructures made of fiberglass,
- 4:46painted in brilliant metallic colors. As I said
- 4:49at the opening, the Navajo aimed to compete with
- 4:52the very popular Caballero, of the Fantic motor.
- 4:55In 1972 the Aspes launched on the market with
- 4:59a certain success the Hopi 125, heir to the Pash,
- 5:03which did not use the Sachs engine like its competitors,
- 5:06but one of its own. The following year was that
- 5:08of the Yuma, a 125 road bike with the engine
- 5:11derived from that of the Hopi, which achieved
- 5:13good success in France, where, under the instructions
- 5:16of the importer BPS, it will prove unbeatable
- 5:19in competitions for standard bikes, also because
- 5:22of the of the fastest 125 in the market, with
- 5:25135 km per hour of maximum speed. De Cesaris,
- 5:30a Formula 1 driver, won a European 125 go -kart
- 5:36with the Asbestos. So, as you can see, this is
- 5:39a story of passion. And there are 40 years of
- 5:43passion that are still here. And this is the
- 5:45beauty. L 'avventura della Aspes termina nel
- 5:511982 quando la Unimoto, nata a Cesena nel 1980
- 5:55dalle ceneri della Milani, assorbì la casa di
- 5:58Gallarate utilizzando il marchio Aspes sino al
- 6:011984, prima di cessare anch 'essa l 'attività
- 6:04nel 1986. Grazie al direttore di 7080 .it Massimo
