Found this on Craigs List.......

[benelli 65]

Listed on craigs list as a Vintage Sears Mini Bike......no pictures. Had the day off,so I went to look at it. WOW.... I changed the oil. The throttle cable is stuck, so I am working on that. Will clean the carb and see if it runs tomorrow.Still has the orginal COMET Belt. Not sure of the year. Never saw one with the exhaust like that

GOT 3 SEARS OURSELFS.NICE BIKES.
GREAT FIND IN NICE SHAPE :thumbsup:

Nice Roper, Restored or just a fantastic survivor? All the hard to find stuff looks to be there, exhaust looks factory. Great score :thumbsup:
