1971 Benelli 175 Cafe Racer

In Custom, Italy, Less than 5k by AbhiLeave a Comment

I’m going to need a Benelli expert on this one. In 1971, the only 175 Benelli was making was the Enduro, correct? Either way, this bike has been highly customized into a “cafe racer” and I think the end result looks pretty good.

The seller claims that this Benelli was “completely restored”, including a powdercoated frame, new blue paint, fiberglass bodywork, aluminum wheels, and Avon tires. He says the 175cc air-cooled two-stroke motor is equipped with a “large fin racing head” but it sure looks like the stock unit to me. The seller suggests you can take it vintage racing or put it up as garage art or in your game room. What would you do?

Find this Benelli outside of Houston, Texas for $3,750 here on Craigslist.
