                                MOTOROLA, INC.

                                 Common Stock

                                 ____________

     These shares of Common Stock are being sold by the stockholders of Motorola
who are named on page 6 or their donee, pledgee or permitted assignee.  Motorola
will not receive any part of the proceeds from the sale.

     This number of shares of Motorola Common Stock reflects a 3-for-1 Common
Stock split in the form of a 200 percent stock dividend which was distributed on
June 1, 2000, to common stockholders of record on May 15, 2000.

     The selling stockholders may offer their shares of Common Stock through
public or private transactions, on or off the United States exchanges, at
prevailing market prices, or at privately negotiated prices.

     Motorola Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the
Chicago Stock Exchange and trades on U.S. exchanges with the ticker symbol:
"MOT".  On June 2, 2000, the closing price of one share of Motorola Common Stock
on the New York Stock Exchange was $36.88.

     These securities have not been approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any state securities commission, nor have they determined if this
prospectus is accurate or complete.  Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.

     Motorola has agreed to pay the cost of the registration of these shares of
Common Stock and the preparation of this prospectus and registration statement
under which it is filed.  The expenses so payable by Motorola are estimated to
be approximately $120,000.

                                 ____________

                 The date of this prospectus is June 5, 2000.

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The selling stockholders, including any donees, pledgees or permitted
assigns who receive shares from a selling stockholder named above, may offer
their Motorola shares of Common Stock at various times in one or more of the
following transactions (which may involve block transactions, ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which brokers solicit purchases):

     .    on any of the securities exchanges where our Common Stock is listed,
          including the New York Stock Exchange or the Chicago Stock Exchange,
          or in special offerings, exchange distributions or secondary
          distributions pursuant to and in accordance with the rules of such
          exchanges;

     .    in the over-the-counter market;

     .    in negotiated transactions or otherwise, including an underwritten
          offering;

     .    in connection with short sales of the shares of Common Stock;

     .    by pledge to secure debts and other obligations;

     .    in connection with the writing of non-traded and exchange-traded call
          options, in hedge transactions and in settlement of other transactions
          in standardized or over-the-counter options, if permitted under the
          securities laws; or

     .    in a combination of any of the above transactions.

     The selling stockholders may sell their shares at market prices prevailing
at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at
negotiated prices or at fixed prices.

     The selling stockholders may sell their shares directly to purchasers or
may use broker-dealers to sell their shares.  Broker-dealers who sell the shares
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions
from the selling stockholders or they may receive compensation from purchasers
of the shares for whom they acted as agents or to whom they sold the shares as
principal, or both.  (The compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be
in excess of customary commissions.)

     The selling stockholders and these broker-dealers may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of
the shares sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act of 1933.

     Motorola will pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with
preparing and filing this prospectus and the registration statement.  The
selling stockholders will pay any brokerage commissions and similar selling
expenses, if any, attributable in connection with the sale of the shares of
Common Stock including stock transfer taxes due or payable in connection with
the sale of the shares.

     Motorola will indemnify the selling stockholders and any underwriter of a
selling stockholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933.  The selling stockholders, each individually and not
jointly, will indemnify Motorola against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.  The selling stockholders may
agree to indemnify any agent, dealer, or broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

     Selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open
market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933
provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144.

     (a) 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
               (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the

                                      II-1
<PAGE>

               Securities Act of 1933, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any
               facts or events arising after the effective date of the
               Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
               amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
               represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
               the Registration Statement, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
               increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
               total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
               which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and
               of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
               form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
               424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
               represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
               aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
               Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement,
               and (iii) 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; provided, however, that paragraphs
               (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required
               to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
               is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
               Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
               the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
               reference in the Registration Statement.

     (2)       That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
               Securities Act of 1933, 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)       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.

     (b)       The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.

     (c)       The Registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the
purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection
(a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in accordance with the
rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

     (d)       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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
