Gets up to 115+! Double leading front shoe brakes hold Instantly! Tornado... when you want more from a motorcycle!
MINI-ENDURO
This mini-cycle looks and acts like its big brother! 65cc. 2-stroke with 4 speed foot shift transmission. 14" spoked wheels. Motocross handlebars, fenders and exhaust. Knobby tires to take you over anything! Heavy duty rear shocks and Marzocchi forks. Complete lighting, horn and speedometer. Street legal.*
BENELLI SUPERSPORT
Pure, white-lightning . . .
250cc's of it!
Combine the high ground clearance, the horizontal 5 speed engine, the low center of gravity, great Marzocchi hydraulic forks and you know you’ve got a machine that will keep you out of trouble over the rough spots! It takes people with real motorcycle experience to make a machine like this one ... and that's Benelli!
The Supersport for the super ride!
