Better condition than most form that era and tier. Bugatti was an opportunist brand, hoping to make the memories of superior automobiles translate to a bike brand.

Now, the true Bugatti's did play with bikes, a multi-tube bike frame that was recreated by someone from drawings much later (with revised geometry as well), that was interesting.

Even more interesting was the velocipede motor, inline shaft, supercharged, 50cc jewel of an engine, when the rules for 50cc "mopeds" were written, I am sure supercharging was not considered, a "rule beater". An example or two survive of the motor only, I do not know if they run.
