Casal
Classic Bikes
Metalurgia Casal was the largest
Portuguese motorcycle manufacturer, based in
Aveiro. It was founded in 1953 and its first
products included agricultural engines. During
the following years it designed and produced
a wide range of motorbike and motorcycle models,
with significant exports to several countries.
Casal started motorcycle production
during 1964 and rapidly established themselves
as Portugal's major motorcycle producer, exporting
their products around the world. Production
concentrated on mopeds and lightweight motorcycles,
initially using Zundapp engines which were subsequently
replaced with their own two stroke engines.
The company faced financial problems
in the late 1990s. Today it operates as a Suzuki
representative in Portugal.
