Motorcycle Classics magazine
Sept./ Oct. issue of Motorcycle Classics is giving a little love to our CA 95 Benlys in their Under The Radar section . This is where they spotlight motorcycles that may be up and comers in the classic bike market . Nice little article generally getting it right . They show a well worn but mostly complete CA 95 for sale at $750.00 dollars which seems correct and also give a price range of $800.00 - $3500.00 which also seems reasonable .
About time that our Benlys got a little love ! I just looked and you can read the article on-line at Motorcycle Classics website . Last edited by kartgreen; 08-19-2013 at 05:11 AM. |

Thanks for the heads-up. |

I didn't want to post copyrighted material here, but if you're interested in a 2-page PDF of this interesting article, please PM me and I'll send you a link.
Motorcycle Classics is an excellent magazine - some of the content is available online, but the subscription is well worth the price. |

They did manage to slip in a few mistakes, low compression at 8 to 1 and a twin leading shoe front brake. Other than that, it was a good read.

and one any distance away would have me hauling the Benly in the truck...6'5" me and 50 mph just isn't compatible with 80mph interstates. |

Cool to read a current article on the CA95/C95, it doesn't get enough recognition as the cool little classic that it is so anything like this is always nice to see.
Thanks for pointing it out. Steve |

If you're not a regular reader of Motorcycle Classics, you may have missed Roger's nice call-out to this fine forum in his letter to the magazine, published in the November/December issue:
Thanks for taking the time to recognize this group, Rog. |

I will! (Life has just recently opened up so that I may get back to completing the Barnly.)
Course, I won't be riding it very far, seeing as how the observed average speed of traffic is twice what it's happy doing. |
