The Benelli 254, originally known as the Benelli 250 Quattro, is a 250cc inline-four motorcycle produced by the Italian manufacturer Benelli from 1977 to 1984. It was, at the time, the smallest production four. The 250 models were built to take advantage of the tax concessions on machines under 250cc in Italy and other markets. Designed by engineer Lino Tonti, although a four, it was a different design to the larger 500/4. Styling was by Paolo Martin. The 250 Quattro was first shown at the 1975 Milan Motorcycle Show, and production started in 1977. Plastic and aluminium were used extensively to keep the weight down to 117kg. Martin's sleek styling included uncluttered handlebars, with the clocks and brake master-cylinder mounted in the tank.

This 1979 Benelli 250/4 Quattro has recently been discovered in the late vendor's shed since his passing. A very original machine displaying a mere 11,427km from new (7,100 miles), it was last registered in 1985, at the time it was purchased by the vendor. In good all-around condition for its age, it is now ready for a new owner as a winter project. The Benelli comes complete with an old style blue and white logbook and a workshop manual. It will require full recommissioning before use.. It will require full recommissioning before use.
