If you own a Motom and are missing a part, the problem isn't finding just any replacement—it's finding the right one, without paying three times as much and without getting ripped off.
Here is what the situation will actually look like in 2026.
Original replacement parts are no longer manufactured
The Motom has been out of production since 1972. The parts currently available are used, NOS (new old stock—new parts that were never installed and remained in stock), and in some cases, handcrafted replicas. You need to know where to look—and, above all, what to look for.
Those few new and vintage parts are extremely expensive, but you don't always need them!
Where to find Motom parts
eBay Italy and International: The site with the largest selection. Search for "Motom 48," "Motom parts," or the specific part you need. Be wary of unclear photos and sellers with no feedback.
Vintage motorcycle markets, rallies, and fairs are still some of the best places to go. You can find parts that never show up online and see them in person. Watch out for scammers! It’s all too easy to end up like Pinocchio!
On Subito.it, you can find many motorcycles, often botched during restoration or total wrecks
The Motom Marketplace on Facebook
We've created a Facebook group dedicated exclusively to Motom listings: MOTOM il Mercatino.
The logic is simple: general-purpose marketplaces are disorganized, full of pointless comments and off-topic discussions. Listings get lost in the chaos within a few days. Nobody actually sells anything.
MOTOM: The Marketplace works differently:
- Classifieds only — for sale, wanted, parts wanted
- No arguments, no "how much is it?", no off-topic comments
- Ads moderated by brand experts
- No spam, no scams
The result: publishers get real visibility. Searchers find what they’re looking for. Products actually sell, and if buyers have any doubts, those are addressed and resolved in the comments—a sort of pre-purchase consultation. Pointless and idiotic comments are deleted, and disruptive members are sometimes banned.
A tip before you buy
Before buying any replacement parts, make sure you know exactly which model you have. A first-generation Motom 48 has different components than a 48 from the 1960s. Buying the wrong part is the quickest way to waste money.
