It's a beauty. I bet a lot Italian teens dreamed about this bike back in '65.

Lovely bike and a fair price as well!  It’s similar to the Benelli 200 Sprite ‘egg motor’ bike I am collecting parts for at the moment. I am going to refinish mine as a Motobi, either the all red scheme like this one or the candy blue paint scheme.

Odd...  looks like a frame link from the center stand pivot to the swingarm ??   and what it that vertical strut aft of the rear shock ?? 
Nothing much better than a Tannat from the Salta region.

So TRUE.  I STILL have a super low mileage Benelli SS sitting on the lift waiting for a new lease on life.

Wow that’s serious coin for an Italian small displacement bike.  Heck one would think the Motobi egg was as rare as those ridiculously priced Honda Monkey bikes that keep reaching stupid values  :grin:
