Putting a Benly together for my young friend Ben to start racing.
The project started quite a while ago and has been dogged by other more pressing matters, It's now back on track and should be completed in a few months providing nothing else gets in the way.

Is a CB92 considered a Benly? Thought that was just the CA95.

The first 6 small twins that they made were all called Benlys.
Early in 58 they made the C90 tourer and the CB90 sport, both 125cc.
Mid 58 came the C95 tourer and CB95 Super Sport, both 154cc.
Mid 59 they built the C92 tourer and the CB92 super sport, both 125cc.
Of the 2 American market tourers, the CA92 was the same as the C92 but the CA95 was the C95 chassis with the CB95 motor but with wider side cases at the kick start and gear shaft points as on all the tourers.
The name Benly was used on some of the singles up to 58 and has been used on some of the small twins untill recent times.
It dose get a bit confusing, because over there you also call the Benly Baby Dreams:D:D:D
