![]() I have not used it much so I would say under a thousand miles on the bike estimated. It was at 540 when I got the bike 15 yrs ago. Bike shows 664 miles at the time the speedo quit. Original brake and clutch cables are in good usable shape with some over spray red paint on the rear. Muffler and pipe are nice and have surface rust only with a couple of small dings. It has a nice tank that has several dings but no holes or deep rust. The bike could use a basic cosmetic restoration but is a real nice one to start with or can be used as is. The trans and clutch still work well on the bike and it shifts well. Only other part missing is the screw for the muffler clamp. Original plastic toolbox is very nice with no cracks (no tools). Bike also has nos accessory Cosmopolitan Motors rear side reflectors. NOS headlight has a micro ding thats hard to see on top. ![]() A mint original seat is about the most impossible part to find for one of these bikes. Seat is still super nice with no cuts or tears. It has a NOS set of fenders but chrome peeled on the front in a few spots. It also has a nos muffler guard (still mint). One headlight ear was replaced with an original because it had cracked. This bike has had a NOS seat and headlight added about ten years ago. Clutch lever is a little bent and has the wrong screw (easy fix). ![]() Also bike needs rear brake lever installed as screw became stripped on the old one. The rubber tank strap is worn and cracked should be replaced - not on bike. It takes a Dellorto MB 22 A Carb and they can be found on Ebay as well as other places. **Please note** I will credit back 200.00 of the winning bidders price to replace the carb. It also needs a new throttle slide and cable. The bike is missing the carburetor as I took it off to rebuild it and misplaced it about a year ago. I have just been putting a pan under for years and filling up when needed since its not all that bad. It runs well and is very complete, but has a moderate oil leak. This bike I have on auction I have owned for 15 years. They have a ton of big motorcycle options (see magazine ad pictures - NOT included in auction). They are a four speed clutch that produce 14 h.p. They were advertised as the worlds most powerful minicycle. Since they were 509.00 it took several years to sell off the remainder of the 200 bikes. They appear to have been the most expensive minicycle of the time. They were only produced for one year in 1970 with the unsold ones having stickers on the tanks to change the year and sell them off through 1974. World's most powerful minicycle! Benelli imported 200 of these from Italy in 1970 with Cosmopolitan Motors being the sole US importer.
