Founded in Casalecchio di Reno near Bologna, Berneg exhibited its first motorcycle at the Milan Trade Fair in 1955. Sold as the Rainbow, this machine was powered by a 158cc twin-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine designed by FB Mondial engineer, Alfonso Drusiani. The four-speed gearbox was integral with crankcase and this advanced power unit was all aluminium apart from the cast-iron cylinder block. Later Berneg models such as the Fario were powered by a 173cc development of the same engine. By 1959, only the Fario Gran Turismo and Sport were listed, and in 1962 the company, whose products had always been built to the highest standards, closed its doors for the last time. Currently showing 448km on the odometer, this motorcycle from one of Italy's more obscure makes is an older restoration purchased from a collector in Udine, Italy. There are no documents with this Lot.
