Some stranges engines here ;

Before WW1, maybe 50 french brand some build proper engines and some buy them
after WW1 (1939 / 1045) all the small brand died. In 1950, brit bikes perform better than french, this was the begining of ending story. The jap bikes arrival kill all the rest !
now :

I thought I remembered a really hot concept or maybe even a prototype of a French sports bike a few years ago. Anyone remember that?\
Edit: I searched on it, it was Midual.
