Benelli of Pesaro was founded in 1911 by Teresa Boni Benelli who, as a widow, wanted to ensure a future for her six children who had shown a great passion for mechanics and little inclination to continue the family's agricultural activities. The VLM (Valvole Lateral Militare-Military Side Valves) 500 model, production of which began in 1940, was intended for the military and equipped with a 493 cc vertical single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with side valves, a single-cradle steel tube frame, front suspension with a parallelogram fork and swingarm with adjustable friction dampers at the rear. Restored and presumably never used since. A general mechanical check is recommended before use.
