Stopped at a dealership in northern France on way home from trip, the tosser there managed to say the French were better than the Brits and Spanish within 5 minutes of meeting him (arrogant twat)

but he had this on display which I think is pretty cool
 
Did he mention that they also make better motorcycles than the British or Spanish ever did?

They were also responsible for the BFG one of the ugliest bikes of all time from a front on view (see small photo below), but quite nice side on, like an 1980's Moto Guzzi. Was quite a good spec for its day 1.3 litre air cooled 4cyl boxer Citroen engine and shaft drive.


"The company SOMA designed the gear box and the rear transmission with its specific castings. The engine, originated from the GSA CITROËN car, was re-fitted with new accessories, improving the look and the motorbike functionalities : New tappets covers in moulded alloy, traditional ignition and fuel pump were replaced by an electronic ignition and an electric fuel pump dipped into the fuel tank made in rotomoulded plastic. The equipment of a BFG are made for grand touring ; shaft driven, full fairing offering a good protection to the pilot, « Jaeger » dashboard (coming from the RENAULT 5 Alpine car) showing the neutral gear, the red zone, aso. The engine of the BFG perfectly answers the grand touring use with its high torque available even at low rpm

Just for @BigNorm ;):D
.....There was also supposed to have been a diesel powered motor bike with the same engine as the Visa Diesel." A 1,769 cm3 Inline 4 cyl diesel engine.
The famously rugged and refined, class-leading 1,769 cc XUD diesel
