1980

In the 1980’s most European countries and some US states stopped requiring pedals on mopeds. So most late-1980’s and later mopeds worldwide were kick start with foot pegs, no pedals.

New headlight: In the 1980 flyer, all models had the CEV “pancake” healight, with replaceable bulb. But the 1980 VIP below has a “bullet” headlight, rather than a “pancake” headlight, like all the other 1980 Garelli models. So not everything changes at once.

New cylinder: The 1980 Super Sport Ltd with H1 or H2 engine had the new 5-fin aluminum cylinder. It’s easy to see from a distance by the silver color, when the other model’s iron cylinders are dark gray.

The H2 engine model has a larger rear sprocket, 50 tooth instead of 32. See how in the 1980 brochure, the black bike at top left has a much bigger rear sprocket? That is how to tell a horizontal 2-speed from a distance. 

New switches: In 1980 the switches changed from 1977-80 “Garelli oval chrome” to 1980-85 “CEV diamond plastic“. The new switches were not prone to breaking like the old ones were. The control housings did not change, except for color, from silver to black.

New oil injector: In 1980 the oil injector tank was redesigned, with a less-noticeable, two-sided version. It is seen below, on both the 1980 Rally Sports and the gorgeous green 1980 VIP.

In 1980 the Sport had rear suspension and the 1977 better fork. It was the same as the Rally Sport, except it had painted fenders, not polished stainless, it had a solo seat, not a bench seat, no rear luggage rack, and no oil injector tank.

Brake drums: After 1980 the brake drum size on spoke wheels increased from 90 to 105mm. In the 1980-81 flyer below, only the black Super Sport XL with gold mag wheels has the smaller 90mm brakes. You can clearly see the three other models with spoke wheels have bigger front brakes, but you can’t see that the rear brakes are also bigger. 

In the photo at right, you can see the difference in brake size. A 1985 Rally SL has a bigger front hub than a 1980 Rally Sport.

World Champion: From Into the Desert by Mark Daniels: Under the team leadership of Daniel Agrati, Garelli returned to racing in 1982, devastating all competition as Angel Nieto and Eugeno Lazzarini swept to first and second places in the 125cc World Championship, and soundly secured the Constructors Cup. Lazzarini also finished second in the 50cc class.

 

---

After years of 50cc GP racing experience, competing with 50cc world champions Kreidler and Derbi, Garelli became successful in 125cc Gran Prix Motorcycle Road Racing. Garelli was 125 GP world champion in 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985.

Read more about Garelli 50cc racing: http://www.elsberg-tuning.dk/garelli.html. The last race for a 50cc Garelli was in 1984 at the first 80cc GP race at Misano. The 50cc Garelli won the 80cc race, and set a new lap record. It made 21.5 horsepower and had a 29.5mm carburetor. That racing 50 made ten times more power than a mild mannered 50cc moped, and it went 100 mph faster!

 

Garelli TSR 125 produced 1983-1985. By the early 1980s the 125 class was the most popular in Italy with well over 100,000 125cc motorcycles sold annually, and Garelli approached this market. For 1983 they released the TSR 125 with a Minarelli watercooled engine. The specification was modern, with disc brakes and alloy wheels, a bikini fairing and contemporary body styling. However, it was outmatched in looks and performance by the many rivals built by Aprilia, Cagiva, Fantic, Laverda and others, and was not a commercial success.

From Stingers by Mark Daniels: In 1983, remarkably, Garelli relaunched a new 36cc Mosquito cyclemotor auxiliary engine! The wheel of time seemed to turn full circle as the friction drive motor again became offered as the Bicimosquito attachment kit, or Velomosquito complete machine version. The return of these economy models was not however any sign of further success, but an indication of the depressed state of business, and the desperate position in which Garelli now found itself. The collapsed market for motor cycles and mopeds had led to an increasing dependence on activity from its Torpedo cycle division, and return of the Mosquito cyclemotor was perceived as a means to complement this now critical sector of income.

Monza G.T. was “born” in 1983, in the US. It’s European sister was Junior Turismo.

New worldwide laws: Because of new worldwide motor vehicle manufacturer labeling requirements, including the 17-digit encoded VIN, that became mandatory for motor vehicles made after 1980, Garelli and the other moped manufacturers like Puch, Vespa, Tomos produced and stockpiled many 1980-made mopeds, that got sold in 1981, 82 or 83. That is why there are not many 1981, 1982, or 1983 US moped models or brochures. In the early 1980’s Garelli moped dealers used the same 1979-1980 sales brochures, and sold 1980 models, for 2 or 3 years.

After 1983, Garelli mopeds, US models, did not come with oil injector tanks.

Monza GT is the US version of Junior Turismo. This beautiful piece of Italian art and engineering arrived very late, as moped popularity was fading. As a result, Garelli did not sell many Monza GT’s, and so they uncommon in most parts of the USA today. The parts are even rarer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

M1 Engine: The Monza GT has a 1-speed automatic, vertical cylinder engine, with pedals. It is like the 1978-1985 VIP 2-speed, except some of the engine is different. The bore and stroke are both 40 x 39mm, but the VIP has a 1970’s style cast iron cylinder, while the Monza GT has a 1980’s style all aluminum cylinder with lots of fins. The cases are different at the cylinder base. The piston has a very high crown, like the early 1970’s European models such as Tiger, but with a boost transfer port rectangular window on the upper intake side of the piston. Apparently a Tiger piston works in a Monza GT, without the transfer port window, but makes less power. Because of these major differences, we are calling this vertical cylinder one-speed “M1” instead of “V1”. H is horizontal, V is vertical, and M is Monza vertical.

Out of about 20 moped shop buyouts in the 1980’s and 1990’s, Myrons Mopeds accumulated a “wall” of moped parts manuals, dealer notebooks, sales brochures, service and training manuals. Out of all that there was no 1984-1986 Garelli parts manuals or information. Out of 5000 mopeds serviced over 33 years, only about one or two were Monza GT’s. That’s how rare they are in Southern California. That’s why the only parts for Monza GT that Myrons has, are parts that are the same as other models.

In this 1986 flyer, the Basic has the dark colored cast iron cylinder, while the Rally SL and SSXL have the silver-colored 5-fin aluminum cylinder.

 

New controls: In 1986 the Garelli controls, made by Domino, changed from “1977-85 chrome with black housings and diamond switches” to “1986-93 black with integrated switches“. Tomos also changed to these levers in 1986.

No more US models: After 1986 moped sales in the USA had been declining, because of new license laws, lower gas prices, and Japanese scooters like the 1984-85 Honda Spree. Garelli, and other moped makers like Puch and Vespa, pulled out of the USA, but continued to produce mopeds for the European market.

Sahel was “born” in 1989. Urka was “born” in 1989.  In ’89 the Como was renamed Gary.

1980’s summary from wikiwand : In the eighties , Garelli motorcycles were equipped with Minarelli thermal units with horizontal cylinders. In these years the company achieved notable success in the world championship.

At the end of the 1980s, Garelli merged with Fantic Motor , also in serious financial crisis, giving life to the FM Group (acronym for Fabbrica Motocicli) which will close its doors in 1993 .

Gary: During the late 1980’s European motorcycle manufacturers lost sales to Japanese makers. Most had to merge and become government controlled. Agrati-Garelli merged with Fantic Motor, which was a division of Fabbrica Motoveicoli (motor vehicle factory), all in Italy. 

The 1989-93 Gary is a modernized 1984-88 Garelli Basic.

Avanti and Cosmo: 2000-02 Avanti mopeds and mini-cycles, and 2000-02 Cosmo Stinger were made in India by Mont Motors. They had Avanti Va1, Va2 and Va2k (Garelli VIP remake) engines.

From Reincarnation by Mark Daniels: The Avanti in this case takes its name from a kingdom of ancient India, in the territory of present day Madhya Pradesh state and was, for a time, part of the historic province of Malwa. 

 

Kelvinator started the Avanti (Corporation) as an automobile company (not so unlikely when you consider that Kelvinator was merged with Nash Motors) and, in a technical collaboration with Agrati from 1984, made licence-built copies of Garelli-engined mopeds from a factory at Alwar, Rajasthan.

Agrati-Garelli Gruppo Industriale collapsed in 1992 but, unaffected by the demise of its European partner, the Indian concern continued. The 50-acre (Avanti) plant was bought over by Pacco Ind Corp (carburettors & fuel pumps) in 1999, renamed Monto (Mont) Motors and expanded into building lightweight motorcycles and scooters in partnership with the Chinese Lifan Group.

From wikiwand   From May 21, 2007 , Garelli became AC Milan’s official supplier. 

As a result of the sharp decline in sales in the small displacement mopeds and scooters sector, the Nuova Garelli sought an outlet in the larger displacement market, proposing itself to purchase the failed Moto Morini . However, after weeks of unsuccessful negotiations, Nuova Garelli withdrew its offer on June 14, 2010 , at the same time issuing a harsh press release motivating the withdrawal in the face of hostility or disinterested behavior, held by the Councilor for Productive Activities of the Province from Bologna.

Epilogue and closure
After more than five years of management, constantly at a loss, in June 2011 Paolo Berlusconi sold the majority stake in Nuova Garelli SpA to the Abruzzo-based investment company Ab Capital, and the following year the company was first put into liquidation and then Nuova Garelli Srl in liquidation, the last company to bear that name, was admitted to the arrangement with creditors.

Garelli, the return to electric
In 2018, those entitled to sign an agreement with a company in San Marino for the lease of the brand and the same year, at EICMA , a new Ciclone , a 100% electric motorcycle , is presented . [6]
