Category:Museo Officine Benelli, Motorcycle museum in Pesaro, Italy.
The Museo Officine Benelli occupies a former manufacturing facility and displays motorcycles from both Benelli and MotoBi across different production eras. The collection is arranged across several exhibition spaces that document these brands from their early days through several decades of development.
Benelli began in the 1890s and became one of Italy's leading motorcycle manufacturers over the following decades. The building itself served as the company's production hub until the late 1980s, keeping original factory equipment and machinery intact.
The museum reflects how Benelli shaped local manufacturing identity and motorcycle culture across generations. It shows how these machines represented affordable personal mobility and racing passion for everyday people.
Plan your visit on a weekday, as the museum has split opening hours with a midday closure. It is worth checking ahead to confirm opening times and allowing a few hours to see all the exhibition spaces comfortably.
An upper floor section displays only MotoBi models manufactured between 1950 and 1970 alongside regional racing bikes from that era. This dedicated area preserves a specialized production history that few other collections document in such detail.
