One of big names in the 50cc history is Jugoslavian Tomos.
TOMOS: Tovarna Motora Sezana was named after the first factory/ manufacturer placed in the village of Sezana (Slowenien)built after 1945, but because of an unsettled borderline against Italy, man fürchtete dass auch Kopar (oder slowenisch Koper) zu Italien kommen kann. Aber, als sich Tito nach 1948 zum Westen orientierte, wurde die Grenze mit Italien 1953 definitiv geregelt. So wurde 1954 entschieden, TOMOS nach Kopar zu übersiedeln (wegen besserer Lage und grossem Hafen, geeignet für Exporte)......... Tomos participated in the first season (euro-cup 61), taking a win at Hockenheim.
From then on an evolution of 50cc racebikes, all designated D = dirkalni (racer),
made a strong presence in both national and international championships.






Special features of the Tomos D7 engine: crank- mounted clutch, pressure oiled bearings via seperate pump, and no piston ring? The idea was that a slight conical barrel should take care of the sealing
