1968 Wards Riverside Benelli 350 Restomod
Sold through Montgomery Wards department stores in the ’60s, Benelli bikes were made available in varying displacements. Today we feature one of the biggest examples, a Benelli 350 that’s been restomodded and (at a quick glance) reminds me of a baby Ducati 750SS.

1986 Suzuki RG400 Gamma Walter Wolf
Introduced in 1983, the RG-Gamma series spanned displacements between 250 and 500cc – but the cream of the crop was the Suzuki RG400 Gamma Walter Wolf – a bike made for just two years and only sold in Suzuki’s home market of Japan. None of them were officially exported. A replica of the race bike, it was full of the …
Ducati 350 Desmo Racer
