AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful F.N. M.70 F Standard, a true pre-war classic. Equipped with a Dutch registration (historic/dark blue) plate, year of manufacture 1929.
The engine block is loose and complete; it needs to be inspected and checked before it can be driven again.
Equipped with many parts bearing the 'FN' designation: a very cool and original bike.
The FN M.70 was one of the most successful motorcycles from Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN) in the 1920s and 1930s. The M70 series was built between around 1926 and 1930 and is characteristic of interwar motorcycle technology: a 348cc side-valve single-cylinder with a unit-construction engine/gearbox, an advanced design for its time.
The motorcycle was robust and reliable, and saw broad use as a touring and road motorcycle.
The M.70 was also well known to the public for the successful Sahara expedition in 1927: a series of identical 350 cc FN motorcycles rode from Liège to Dakar through the Sahara, which strengthened the model's reputation for durability and reliability.
Although it is registered as 'Standard' on the license plate, technically this is the same basic model as the Sahara version; 'Sahara' was mainly used as a marketing/expedition name for a similar version.
The M70 stands out for its classic design elements and exceptional craftsmanship. The stylish black fuel tank with the iconic FN logo, the rugged spoked wheels, and the authentic headlight give this motorcycle a timeless look. The leather saddle and the traditional suspension ensure a comfortable ride, while the simple controls offer a charming riding experience that takes you back to the golden age of motorcycles.
This F.N. M70 is not only a piece of riding history, but also a brilliant collectible for lovers of classic motorcycles. With its carefully maintained original parts and its classic charm, this motorcycle is an investment in both heritage and riding pleasure. Don’t miss this chance to own a true historical jewel – the M70 awaits a new owner who will appreciate and cherish its rich history.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
