All stock Benelli Tornado. Has undergone careful cosmetic restoration including new clutch, top-end, seals, charging system, front fork seals and steering stem bearings. Rides on original Borrani wheels with new Metzeler tires for period look. Original La Franconi exhaust and original Dellorto square slide carbs. New paint matching original scheme. All work done by reputable Guzzi/Ducati mechanic. Tach and speedo recently rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer and Clock. Speedo works, tach functional but not working due to lack of proper cable. Clean good running bike with expected issues for a 42 year-old. It is a right-side shift bike with original points ignition. Some minor oil leak around countershaft seal. It doesn't leak when sitting, but will leave about a quarter size spot after running. The bike has an electric starter. The starter and button are all there and functional, but the starter was designed with a weak sprag clutch that I stopped replacing after a few failures. So electric starter not working, but it starts easily with one or two kicks (see video). See history and more info at http://benellitornado650.blogspot.com/ . See it start and run at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suGoclgBKbs Sale includes spare seat (more comfortable than original), NOS brake shoes for front and back drums, a few spare oil filters and a box of other miscellaneous parts. Will also come with an Electronik-Sachse electronic ignition made specifically for this model that was never installed because points ignition is currently running fine.
