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 Vincents, Nortons, and Triumphs http://www.facebook.com/stlclassiccars http://www.instagram.com/motoexotica http://www.twitter.com/motoexotica636
