The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car & Motorcycle Auction
1978 Honda CD185 Benly
Registration - GTU 898T
Chassis No. - CD185T-2074029
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - 18,637
The Benly on offer is an August 1978 model that has remained in the vendor’s care since July 2021. He describes it as ‘a tidy little bike that runs and rides well and features good paint, chrome, tyres and brakes’. In summary he rates the four-speed gearbox as ‘excellent’ and the twin-cylinder engine, frame, suspension, brightwork, paintwork and cycle parts as ‘good’. Always garaged and little used during his tenure, it has recently been treated to a fresh battery and pair of spark plugs, plus an oil change. The roots of the user-friendly Benly can be traced right back to the Sloper of 1967. They made perfect entry level/learner bikes and were, and still are, ideal for commuting – superior to both the Yamaha RS200 and Suzuki SB200.
