Brief History of the Marque: Motosacoche
Henri and Armand Dufaux founded Motosachoche in Switzerland in 1899. Production of motorcycles began with small bicycle engines and soon advanced to the production of MAG-engined motorcycles of 250cc to 1000cc. Enormously successful in the interwar period, Motosacoche had factories in Switzerland, France and Italy, and supplied MAG engines to many other manufacturers including AJW, Allegro, Brough Superior, Clement, Condor, Dresch, Goricke, Imperia, Lady, Matchless, Monet Goyon, Morgan, Neander, New Hudson, Rex-Acme, Rovin and Royal Enfield. Ariel and Triumph also possibly used these engines. A 1910 model used the Dufaux engine, according to a post below and Graces Guide.
