Nominations for the July '14 BoTM please. This month the bikes must have a French Connection, i.e. be made in France or have a strong tie (do your best) to the home of fromage.

Motobecane went bankrupt in 1984. Yamaha changed the name to MBK. I have later Ranger Hi Tech 88 or 89 still branded Motobecane. They were made in France anyway afaik. So, I'd conclude this is french.
