1972 Benelli Tornado 650-S Motorcycle Road Test / Specs / Photos

An original, from the country that specializes in them. The Benelli 650 is definitely worth a try for the person who is willing to look at things diferently. It requires a knowledgeable owner, as it will never be distributed in great numbers in the U.S., and there aren't many dealers. But due to its oversquare bore-stroke configuration, high gearing, and the resulting low piston speeds, and oil-tight, robust construction, Benelli's 650 should prove thoroughly reliable for the long-distance rider. 1972 Benelli Tornado 650-S Road Test 4-Page Article available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"

1972 Trick Honda XL250 - and you thought four-strokes for motocross were passe, right?

Two Honda XL250 Articles for the price of one: Trick Honda XL250 - When we did our preview test of the Honda XL250 in the April issue, few of us suspected that the machine would become the basis for winning the Baja 1000. And yet another non-factory machine, prepared by Bill Bell at Long Beach Honda, has beaten the 250 two-strokes at local motocross tracks in the Southern California area. The Red Line Honda - a special XL250 frame - expensive, but the ultimate route for racing applications. Regular readers will remember the tragic test of the harold Alison Norton 750 which featured a Red Line Engineering frame built by Linn Kastan...Perhaps the ultimate modification is fitting a Honda engine in a Red Line frame, which is approximately 2 in. lower than a standard XL250 unit.... 1972 Trick Honda XL250 / Red Line Honda - 2 Articles, 4-Pages available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"

1972 Vintage Motorcycle Article: Hagglund XM72 Prototype

One futuristic design that stretches the imagination. Everyone know that a motorcycle has to have a pair of fork legs and a swinging arm that cradles the rear wheel. Well, not everyone. The Swiss AB Hagglund & Soner firm doesn't know and it is better off because its prototype XM72 is one of the few completely original designs to emerge in a long time... 1972 Hagglund XM72 Prototype 2-Page Article available at www.DadsVintageAds.com CLICK THE PICTURE TO "BUY IT NOW"
