In 1974 and 75 Motobecane used these cheesy black and silver foil decals on the head tubes and seat tubes of their 2 top of the line bikes: the Le Champion model and the Team Champion model (also called Champion Team).

One of the giants of French bicycle production, Motobécane produced a full line of bicycles from the sought after Team Champions and Le Champions down to the Hi-Ten (gas pipe) built base models. It should be noted that many Motobécanes were built with Swiss threaded bottom brackets instead of the typical French threading.
Motobécane was the first French maker to start using Japanese parts.
