SUMMARY
1980 Benelli 254 classic Italian four-cylinder sports tourer. Offered with No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Revitalised following its take-over by Alejandro de Tomaso, Benelli launched a range of new four and six-cylinder sports bikes in the 1970s
- Smallest of the range was the 254 (actually 231cc) quarter-litre roadster, its name deriving from '250cc/four-cylinder'
- The smallest production four-cylinder motorcycle at the time, it was also one of the most expensive, but it did include cast alloy wheels, Brembo disc brakes, and an electric starter
- Stunningly styled and built like a Swiss watch, the 28bhp, high-revving lightweight was capable of over 90mph
- This 1980 example is in unrestored original condition and has covered an indicated 15,414 miles
- The bike has been stored for nearly ten years and some recommissioning will be required
- Owners handbook along with a workshop manual (Italian) and some older paperwork
- UK-registered with a current V5C
