Yes, they were imported by Cycle Kart Racers, Inc., funny name and reflects that they started with go karts... They also briefly imported Colnagos...

I think all those USA colors came from them sponsoring John Eustice and him winning the first PRO championship in Baltimore(?) Maybe others with better memories can flesh out that story...

To my knowledge Motta frames were never U.S. made, all were imported and distributed by CKR in Tulsa OK. Wm Lewis was the Tommasini importer and distributor for a couple of decades.? ?
