The Appeal
The Benelli MotoBi 175 SS is a unique piece of motorbike history. Born from a family dispute, the MotoBi brand was created by Luigi Benelli, one of the six Benelli brothers, and quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality racing motorbikes.
The vendor informs us that this bike participated in the Milan - Taranto race, one of the most prestigious motorbike races in Italy. It's a marvellous example, with plenty of vintage character - although some minor restoration work wouldn't go amiss. Nimble, nicely-kept and with a charming patina, we're sure this classic mount will attract plenty of attention.
