I’ve done a little research on these bikes, so we’re going to call her a ’69. I got this little bike maybe 16 or 17 years ago. At that point she had sat for many years outside. It had a stuck cylinder that was off the motor so the crankcase was filled with leaves, dirt, and stuff. Needless to say not only did I have to rebuild the top end with an oversized piston and rings, but I also had to put a new crankshaft and it. So you have a complete rebuild motor in this little girl, crank, piston, rings, bearings, all the gaskets and seals….. She has an excellent little motor. This bike has aluminum wheels, Buchannon stainless spokes, polished hubs, ventilated brake hubs, and new tires. The chrome plating on this bike is outstanding, just take a look at the expansion chamber, and the candy apple red frame is just beautiful. The clip on handlebars are Mannari as well as the throttle and control levers. Brand-new cables and a bitchen and little downdraft Dellorto carburetor with chrome velocity stack. The seat was done in real leather upholstery not vinyl and beautiful paint work tops off this quality build. All the nuts, bolts and hardware have been re zinc plated is just a little example of the attention to detail in my builds. I have been building and restoring motorcycles for over 30 years I have six or seven motorcycles in the National Motorcycle Museum in Iowa and five or six of my restorations are at the Barber museum and a few at the Guy Webster museum. The quality of my builds speak for themselves, you will be extremely happy with this motorcycle. Don't miss this opportunity to add a classic Benelli racer to your collection Sold with a bill of sale, I do not have a title, never got a title when I bought the motorcycle years ago. So pretty positive its not on the DMV computer, it would be no problem registering or resurrecting the title of ownership if you wanted to put it on the street.. Remember sold with a “bill of sale” only! Also the bike is for sale locally and available to the first person who walks by with cash. Terms of sale: $500 cash or $500 payment via PayPal due within three business days of auction close! That should be sufficient enough time for you to get your affairs together and forward the deposit that way I know you’re serious about owning the bike. The payment balance “must” be made within 7 days of “auction close” I prefer bank wire or cash for the payment of the balance. I absolutely do not want a full paypal payment because they take so darn much in fees… You can do a bank wire or send a cashier’s check or send your grandma over with cash but you gotta get the deal done and paid for within 7 days. OK? Any problems with this just don’t bid, ok? The bike is here at my shop if you wanna come over and look at it. And it can set here for a couple of months till you can arrange shipping, but let’s not push the free storage thing for much longer than that, after all you wanna ride your bike right? Look the pix over real good and ask any questions. Thanks Kent On Aug-02-13 at 17:51:45 PDT, seller added the following information: Well hello Guys and Gals..... I have had quite a few questions and comments on this little girl.... and thank you for all of the favorable comments.... We have a few days left on the auction and i have rethought it over alittle..... the result is i have lowered my "buy it now" price considerably and have lowered my reserve.... we are almost at my revised reserve.... So if you really like my little baby and think she should be in your collection just place a bid or heck dont let it possibly go to someone else, just pull the trigger on the "buy it Now"... Yours in sport Kent Riches
