MOJ 130 motorcycle – model 1938

The MOJ 130 – model 1938 is a light touring motorcycle. The MOJ 130 was designed by inż. Karol Zuber who endeavoured to incorporate the best features of foreign machines in it, which is why similarities can be seen with the Zündapp (external frame) and Sachs 98 (engine) vehicles. Riding it was exceptionally easy and comfortable as the gearing was well chosen and well matched to the high flexibility of the engine. While the price of the vehicle was not excessive (950 zlotys), the MOJ 130 was a highly valued design due to its reliable build (almost entirely from Polish components), low failure rates, and numerous successes in the motorsports of the era, including off-road rallies. The scale of production was not large – around 600 units were built between February 1937 and September 1939. Manufacturer: Fabryka Maszyn, Odlewnia Żelaza i Metali MOJ in Katowice, 1938/1939. Inv.
