"The Motorcycle 1961" "While selling two-stroke engines to private owners, DEMM have created a fast piece of four-stroke machinery for its works riders, winning the Italian 1961 championship of the 50cc class. It is a double ohc (driven by vertical shaft and bevel gears plus the usual spur gear over the head), with double ignition by battery and coil, a five speed gearbox, primary drive by gears and 16mm carburettor with elastic-mounted float chamber "Not satisfied with this model, DEMM are now creating another 50cc racer which at the moment is being kept very secret. Somebody is rumouring the new secret weapon to be a twin. Of course DEMM will compete again in the Italian events in 1962 and it is likely to 'Go Foreign' if all goes well. At present the single cylinder double overhead cam is considered the principle weapon for the 1962 season by the DEMM racing department". |
