Bianchi motorcycles were produced from 1897 to 1967 by F.I.V. Edoardo Bianchi S.p.A., an Italian company founded by Edoardo Bianchi, also known for its bicycles and, for a time, automobiles. The company produced several models, including the 500 M and the 250 "Stelvio," and was a major supplier of motorcycles to the Italian Royal Army during World War II.
