Company History
Macbor is the motorcycle arm of Spain’s Bordoy Group, a long-standing distributor that understands Iberian riders’ priorities: approachable seat heights, frugal engines, and European styling with truthful specs. By partnering with Asian manufacturing for engines and frames, then finishing to EU requirements, Macbor delivers 125–500 cc motorcycles that feel friendly yet presentable—good brakes, tidy wiring, and ergonomics that make city riding and weekend routes easy. Models like the Eight Mile (scrambler) and Montana (ADV) translate popular aesthetics into license-tier reality, while dealers emphasize serviceability and spares so first-time owners avoid surprises. Macbor’s success reflects thoughtful curation: pick platforms that start every morning, tune suspension for Spanish backroads, and price so insurance and finance stay sensible. Historically, Macbor shows how a savvy distributor can build a credible brand by blending global supply with local insight. The result is a steady on-ramp for new riders in Spain and beyond, widening motorcycling’s base with machines that look the part and work as daily tools.
