MotoeXotica is pleased to announce our latest addition, a virtually new 1975 Benelli Tornado 650S with only 60 miles on the clock in running condition. Operating out of the oldest European motorcycle factory, in non-continuous production; Benelli has produced some of the world’s greatest touring motorcycles. Matriarch, Teresa Benelli invested all of her recently departed husband’s savings in to founding Benelli Garage. Initially her intentions were to keep her six sons out of trouble with stable work, by repairing bicycles and motorcycles. In 1921 the Benelli Garage offered their first motorcycle with their own built in-house engine, a 93cc two-stroke. Mrs. Benelli’s youngest son Torino Benelli became a successful motorcycle racer on his family’s motorcycles, earning the Benelli brand a reputation in development and performance. Continuing their success after WWII, Benelli fulfilled the Italian need for cheap and lightweight transportation by offering a range of models that where inexpensive and nimble. By 1969 Benelli offered their first model intended for the American and English markets, the Tornado 650S. This model soon earned a reputation of being extremely reliable and performance driven with a claimed top speed of 117mph. The Tornado was intended to be the Italian version on the English the Vincent’s, Norton’s, and Triumph’s.
In extremely pristine condition this Benelli Tornado 650S is a perfect showpiece for Benelli’s unique Italian design and build quality. Indicated on the odometer, this Benelli has only registered 60 miles! Painted in its original a yellow and black color scheme this motorcycle looks amazing. The paint is original and in ideal condition, only very minor imperfections can be found; but are negligible for original 40 year-old motorcycle. Every chrome and stainless steel accessory is original and in very good condition, almost no aging can be found. A black banana seat allows the rider have a comfortable and relaxing experience, with a natural riding position. Under the seat the original red tool kit is still in place with every tool being accounted for. Original handlebars and Veglia gauges are in excellent condition, the handlebars still retain the factory hand grips too. Front and rear turn indicators work along with the original headlight and taillight too.
Mechanically this Tornado 650S is powered by a Benelli 650cc parallel-twin four-stroke with overhead valves. The Benelli factory claimed this air-cooled engine produced 57hp and was capable of propelling this motorcycle 117mph. This was due to Benelli’s engine design being much more advanced than other manufacturers. Suspension is handled by Marzocchi tele-hydraulic front forks and an adjustable rear swing arm. Drum brakes in both front and back help halt this motorcycles immense power and speed. Finally the Metzeler tires are in good condition, with hardly any noticeable road wear.
It should be noted that this motorcycle was never been titled. It will be sold on Bill of Sale, with the original manufacturer’s statement of origin (MSO) in hand.
