Company History
Under the minimalist MM badge, workshops produced limited frames, bodywork, and tuning parts that emphasize corner speed and feedback over peak horsepower. Typical projects start with reliable singles/twins, then add geometry and suspension changes that let riders brake deeper and pick up the throttle earlier. Documentation—setup sheets, torque specs, and gearing suggestions—helps owners achieve repeatable results at trackdays. Historically, MM represents Europe’s cottage performance culture: incremental improvements applied carefully to make ordinary bikes communicate like thoroughbreds. The brand’s legacy lives in countless garage-built tools that feel coherent because small choices were made with rider feel in mind.
