Montgomery Wards Riverside / Benelli Cobra / Leoncino 125
This 100% complete bike is was sold in the USA in 1969 as a Montgomery Wards Riverside 125. It was also imported under the name "Benelli Cobra" and sold in it's native Italy as the "Benelli Leoncino." It is a 4 -speed right hand shift, 1 up, 3 down. This bike was laid up properly with lots of oil and so the internals are in good shape. The motor is a piston ported 2-stroke - no case induction or reed valve here. 125 cc. The motor turns over and shifts smoothly. The cylinder, piston, rings, crank and con rod have been inspected and are in excellent shape. 6V 60 watt electrics. Coils check for continuity. New points included. Carb is in excellent working order. 2 petcocks, both functioning and included. Gas tank electrolytically cleaned and sealed with Red Kote. Pictured with an old Yamaha seat pan. Original seat included.

Mom & Dad. Is that where I get it from?
Ryan, the new intern.
Safety first.
Dad had one like this when he was a kid, except his was the Mach I. Fastback. W/ Racing strips. And a 427 under the hood. Ok, so it wasn't really like this.
Just another day in the truck.
Ah, the fine art of parking a 35' truck in a compact spot.
