Benelli Bialbero 250cc Swiss GP Berne 1952 Les Graham’s motorcycle racing photo

Description

A superb and rare photo of the famous and mighty
Benelli Bialbero
of the 1952!  Shortly before the start of the Swiss Grand Prix that was riden on the circuit of Berne on the 17th of May, 1952 we see the bike that would be riden into a third place finish by Les Graham.
It is a great image of the magnificent Benelli 250 Bialbero Grand Prix single, which was a pre war design, but a very successful one. Ted Mellors had already driven it to victory in the 1939 Lightweight T.T. on the
IOM
. In 1950 Ambrosini did the same. The Benelli had a vertical 248.8cc single cylinder engine, with a bore and stroke of 70 x 64.8 mm. The two double overhead camshafts were gear driven. The gearbox had four speeds The chassis was conventional, brazed up, and featured a girder type front fork and plunger rear suspension. The (covered) flywheel was located outside the engine casings, making it a stiff and compact, engine.
