Are one of you bidding on this Benly?

Very nice indeed, it'll be interesting to see what it makes.

Interesting - my home state, too. I'm interested in seeing where the price ends.

$2025 for a restored Benly that hasn't run in 15 years. Not bad. It seems to me that the CA95 market value has increased a tad in the past year. They'll never be priced like a CA77 Dream, but it's nice to see Benlys selling for more than $2,000.

What prices are people seeing in their regions for good copies of these motorbikes?

No further bids since I started watching it.
I would have paid that had it been in the UK.

Interesting that there were no questions asked or answered at the bottom of the ad. Rust?? I am sure the rectifier is neutered, tank may be rusted where moisture sank to the bottom of the fuel in the tank or above the fuel line, and the fuel is jello from the tank, through the fuel selector (original?) into the carb. Why this guy went to the trouble to store it heated for 18 years after a fresh resto and not go to the effort to clean the above up and get it started is beyond me...could have received much more if he had it running, like he said all the other stuff worked 18 years ago?? If buyer is within driving distance, he can pick it up.....if further $5-600+ shipping. $300 worth of 18 year old tires need replacing. Pictures are nice, but pics don't tell the whole story....by far!

Saw the bike on E-Bay and put it in the watch list and forgot to look in to see what was happening . I think it would have brought a little more money had it been in running condition , maybe $500 more . One just sold locally here for $2400 in original ( it was very nice ) running condition .
