Some belting pics there  :thumb:

I'm giggling because my mate has a H2 750 Kawasaki and it will wheelie in the first 5 gears whether you want it to or not ! Great image of Kevin Schwantz trying in vain to tame the RGV500.

Yea I did find more pics but didn’t want to bore people  lol

Yes I can imagine the H2 750 was a handful I only had the KH 250 and that was great fun and pretty quick my mate had the Suzuki X7 and that was a wheelie machine  lol
In 1976 my brother bought a benneli 250 and at the time it was the fastest 2 stroke 250 on the market.
I have added a picture not actually his bike but the same model and colour.

Believe it or not I saw one of those today in a tatty little back-street bike shop in Newcastle. Not in that sort of condition to be fair and about 50% original but a 1970's Benelli 250 two stroke it was. Hand painted mind with RD250LC pipes forced to fit (ish)...

Blimey that is brilliant  :)))  but it’s a shame it had been hand painted though :crazy: I was only a kid when my brother bought his brand new and to me it was the best bike in the world  lol

If I remember correctly Moto Guzzi did a 250cc two stroke which was heavily based on that model (italian badge engineering) but didn't sell that well ? Very rare now and probably worth a fortune.
