Update 23-4-2013 Benelli 250 2c first serie 1972

I met Sytze van den Berg from Holland and he was one of the mechanics of Rob Bron.

Now Rob Bron was a very good racer in the 70-80's

He drove in the same races as Agostini, Sheene and Turner

He also drove a topspeed of 342 km/u - 212.50 m/h on the 200 miles of  Daytona in 1978.

Now you know where I'm talking about.

Now Sytze is very into Benelli 2 stroke.

So I met him last week and he was very pleased to see me !!!!!

Why?



Now first I asked him te look at mine engine if I need some new bits and pieces

Then he told me that it was one of the first series of the 250 2c.

Even the crankshaft was from the first serie he told me.

(i didn't know there was a different one)

The pistons had grooves (see photo)

And even the manifold (intake befor the carbs)where the early ones

He looked at the complete bike with the different footrests (see photo)

and the early framenumber (just 4 figures)

Aprilia taillight

Borrani rims (record)

Inox mudgards

Grimeca double leading brake shoe (L+R)

Marzocchi front

Tomaselli handlebar and so on....

Than He told me I got a very rare nearly original bike

Just the silentium silincers are from a later model but they are nearly brand new

So, not only I met somebody who knows where he's talking about, even met a nice person who was very pleased he saw all the beautiful original early stuff of the 250 2c

 

Now a few photo's of the Benelli 250 2c
