1964 BENELLI WARDS RIVERSIDE 250 CAFE RACER

1964 Wards Riverside Benelli 250.  Completely restored but not to original.  I started with a frame off. and powder coated the frame silver.  Then I painted all the tins a racing red with silver stripes. then went through the engine and transmission.  I built this for an everyday rider. so I put parts on that I liked.  Clubman bars and a cafe style seat and pan.  I used a brand new 32mm flat slide carburetor and a new speedometer and all new cables.  Like I said this was built to be an everyday rider. but i didn't like it.  250 cc was not enough for me. and a top speed of 55 was not fast enough for me.  1964- 50 years old was not reliable enough for me.  So yes this can be an everyday rider for someone. and yes this is a one kick starting bike. THIS NEEDS TO BE A DISPLAY. conversation piece. trailer queen to the local motorcycle shows. etc. etc.  This bike is a real eye catcher. it is beautiful. and it is cool. and when you are on it everybody wants to talk about it.  so bid with confidence that you are getting a one of a kind true vintage. nbsp;Italian motorcycle.  And you may do with it what you want but it is definitely a show winner.  As for the shipping. I will assist in shipping any way I can but the buyer must make all the shipping arrangements.  There will be a 500 deposit within 48 hour of auction end.  I AM RE-LISTING THIS AUCTION AT A NO RESERVE AUCTION.  Bid to win as it is time for me to move on
