a post-effective amendment which indicates that all shares of the Company's
Common Stock offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all the
shares of the Company's Common Stock then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to be a
part hereof from the date of filing of such documents; (such documents and
the documents enumerated above being hereinafter referred to as
"Incorporated Documents"); provided, however, that the documents enumerated
above or subsequently filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in each year
during which the offering made by this registration statement is in effect
prior to the filing with the Commission of the registrant's Annual Report
on Form 10-K covering such year shall not be Incorporated Documents or be
incorporated by reference in this registration statement or be a part
hereof from and after the filing of such Annual Report on Form 10-K.

          Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for this purpose to the extent that a statement contained herein
or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
 Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except
as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of the Registration

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

of the 1934 Act.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

          Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law contains
detailed provisions for indemnification of directors and officers of
Delaware corporations against expenses, judgments, fines and settlements in
connection with litigation.
          The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, and its Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance Policy
provide for indemnification of its directors and officers against certain
liabilities.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

          Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

     5     Opinion and consent of McDermott, Will & Emery.
     23(a) The consent of KPMG LLP.
     23(b) The consent of McDermott, Will & Emery is included in Exhibit 5.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

          The registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (3)  That, for the purposes of determining any liability under
the Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where
applicable each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (4)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

          (5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

          Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the

     RE:    37,500,000 Shares of Common Stock (par value
            $3.00) including Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
            for Motorola, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2000 (the "Plan")

Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Motorola, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") for the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 37,500,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, $3.00 par value (the "Common Stock"), which may be purchased
pursuant to the Plan and the related preferred stock purchase rights.

     We have examined or considered:

          1.  A copy of the Company's Restated Certificate of
              Incorporation.

          2.  The By-Laws of the Company.

3.  Telephonic confirmation of the Secretary of State of
              Delaware, as of a recent date, as to the good standing of the
              Company in that state.

4.  A copy of resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors
              of the Company relating to the Plan.

          5.  A copy of the Plan.

     In addition to the examination outlined above, we have conferred with
various officers of the Company and have ascertained or verified, to our
satisfaction, such additional facts as we deemed necessary or appropriate
for the purposes of this opinion.

     Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

          (a)  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware.

          (b)  All legal and corporate proceedings necessary for the
authorization, issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock
under the Plan have been duly taken, and the Common Stock, upon
issuance, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and the related
preferred stock purchase rights, will be duly authorized, legally and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to all references to our Firm in the Registration
Statement and to the filing of this opinion by the company as an Exhibit to
the Registration Statement.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    /s/ McDermott, Will & Emery

                                    McDermott, Will & Emery
