The Machines
OSSA motorcycles were manufactured in Spain from 1949-1985 in Barcelona, by Manuel Giro and his family.
OSSA motorcycles were somewhat unknown in many parts of the U.S. (AND THE WORLD!) in the 1970's and are less-known
today. Since it has been 19 years since a machine came off the assembly-line, parts, and support can be difficult to find.
Some of the models that where manufactured and sold are: Pioneer, Stiletto, Plonker, Wildfire,TT Stiletto, Six-Days Replica, Dick
Mann Replica, Mick Andrews Replica, Sport, Phantom, Desert Phantom, Super Pioneer, Explorer, Mountaineer, B.L.T. Plonker,
Phantom Enduro, ST-1, Fuego, Tu-Yo, Copa, Verde, Urbe, 500SS, Trial 80 (Yellow Gripper) among others, and had
displacements of 50, 100, 125,160 175,230,250,303,350(310cc), and 500cc

of machines up to and beyond (in some cases) 1987 year models, and should continue to get stronger. Parts and

Once you have ridden one, you will understand....Cat quick, and Tiger tough.....like no other.

OSSA became very well known for building superb trials machines during the sixties and seventies.
With development help from works riders Mick Andrews and Dave Thorpe the production versions were smooth, stable,
accurate, sharp steering,light and responsive all good traits.
These are some of the many trials machines that OSSA built.

New for 2010, the Ossa
factory is rising from the
ashes, a new trials
machine was shown to
the public in Milan on
11-10-09 and it appears
to be bristling with new
technology, this should
be very interesting.
