The Benelli 250 Sport Special was a quarter-liter middle-weight machine launched by Benelli in 1968 alongside the smaller 125cc version. The bike was produced until 1973 and remained unchanged over its production time.

In 1970, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Benelli 250 Sport Special, an entry-level machine in its second production year. The bike was designed for all types of riders with different ages and experience levels.

The 1970 motorcycle came in the same shape and form as the previous ones, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant changes whatsoever.

Aesthetically, the motorcycle was characterized by features such as a round headlight with a chromed housing, analog instruments, a long fuel tank, a one-piece, two-up seat, side-mounted rear shocks, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, a center stand, and cross-spoke wheels.

In the performance department, the 1970 Benelli 250 Sport Special had installed a 245cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, boasting 12 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm.

The power generated by the quarter-liter engine was converted into speed by a five-speed manual transmission controlled by a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear axle via a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to 140 kph (87 mph).
